   Hi Michael! I love your assignment and it looks like you got really good results. The emphasis on a Big Idea for each exhibit will really get kids to synthesize what they are seeing and reading. How cool that you went to Namibia! I’ll bet the whole family was involved. Please give my regards to George. Ann Brown
