Goals and Career Trends Assignment * You may use images, clip art, charts, graphs, etc., or keep it simple — once again, you won’t be “graded” on how it “looks.” What’s most important is to make your presentation “your own” — in other words, I’m looking for you to prepare a presentation that is informative to you and your audience.
Be sure to read the criteria, by which your paper/project will be evaluated, before you write, and
again after you write.
