• Jot down notes on the back of your "Selecting a Potential Topic and a Developing a 'Working Knowledge'" sheet and/or in your notebook

• Jot down any additional curious questions that come to you on the front of your sheet
• FYI: In the near future, you will take the podium and share your "working knowledge" with the class via a somewhat impromptu public speaking exercise!
