On Tuesday you will be finishing your poems and printing them. If you need more time, you need to work at home or come to Open Lab, Tuesday will be the last day we work on the poems.

On Wednesday we will start production on your Wonder of the World video: You and your group are headed to a travel expo, people from all over the world will be coming to the expo. Your customers are only able to visit one of the seven Wonders of the World. Your job as the travel experts is to convince others that your Wonder of the World is the that they should visit.

You and your group will be creating a 90 second video informing the customers at the expo all about your Wonder of the World and why it is the greatest.

Information that needs to be included in the 90 second video: Location of the landmark, Date built, Significance of the landmark & three interesting facts of the landmark.
