You will have 40 min to complete your posters. When you are done, come see me to get tape to tape them together into a flow map to show the story of the Buddha reaching Enlightenment.
You will then get a set of sticky notes for your group to walk around and rank which group tells the story of the Buddha the best. (Nicest posters, very few to no words).
Winners will get their choice of 2 tractor tickets per person or 5 points extra credit on the first test.
