Introduction
Introduction
In order to collaborate in the most effective way possible, you will learn to share one Google Slides presentation with all of your group members. This allows everyone to work together on one document at the same time.
​
As described in Module 3, your groups were chosen based on your requests for which book you would like to read during this project. Each group has a group leader, a videographer, a recorder, and a timer, the responsibilities of whom are explained in Module 3. These roles will rotate throughout our project. Please refer to what you learned in Modules 1 and 2 when creating content for these slides.
