 * These are to be typed out in your own words, summarizing what you have learned. Write like you should do daily for the Big Question (SEExI). Double space between your subtitled paragraphs and then cut and glue them onto your booklet. Keeping small margins will make it look more like a real newsletter. If you have a newsletter template on your computer, you are welcome to use that format instead.**
