 * Complete your notes. Finalize and polish your writing, checking for spelling, punctuation and grammar. Make sure that you have pictures and diagrams saved in your H drive in a named folder. Do NOT insert pictures into your Word document. You will do this in your Google doc.
 * Make sure **all** source links are listed under the //**Sources**// section of each location, **including sources for images and diagrams** (VERY important).
 * Finish research and work together with your partner to explain and write the final "pattern and connections" piece in one of the notes documents (it doesn't matter whose document because both documents will be combined). Use the Note-taking Guidelines to help you, if needed.
