entertainment, sports, technology, and the arts. For this project you will gather sources, create a
ThingLink, and present your topic.

sources into a Google document that is shared with all of your group members.
2. After you have gathered a few sources, one person in the group can start creating
the ThingLink.

Google doc. The presentation should be around five minutes long, and every member
should have speaking time.
