there's a source! tada!

anyways, i'm planning on doing an informative type genre for my...i'm not sure what this is called...assignment 3...that's what i'll go with, anyways i was planning on doing a presentation at a school (via powerpoint) and handing out flyers to the students to give to their parents, in the presentation and the flyer it will have info about 4-H and how to join

a lot of the times it's going to be research results for informative essays or presentations, it's used to convey info to the audience to let them know about the topic, it could also just be an educational thing, like a seminar on how to properly flush a toilet i dunno...it could be on anything is my point, anywho, so long as the info is correct and has data to back it up you can pretty much take it how you want
