1) Check out the index of [|U.S. Government Departments and Agencies]... select one that you find that you may have interest in.
 * We will not be having 20 presentations on the Department of Defense... so it is first come first serve for selections

2) Figure out what exactly this department does - how would you define its goal or mission?

3) Preform a search and find TWO current event stories relating to your department that have happened within the past two weeks. Be able to give a brief summary of them.

= THIS IS WHAT WE WILL DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION FROM CLASS TODAY =

- Randomly students will be called on to share information about your Department or Agency & your current event connections.

- These will be graded similar to your "Fact Check Friday" assignments like last semester in terms of how you present yourself.

 * know your information without the aid of notes
 * stay away from filler words when speaking, don't sway back and forth, spit out your gum, stand tall
 * give your classmates your attention
 * expect a quiz over what is presented at the end of the hour
