    rHi Shaundra this Mariela from the history class if you could please send the your part of outline when ever

    you have chance. I talked with the teacher and she told that we only have turn in 1 outline for the whole

    group so I have to put all the parts of our topics in one page outline. I was also wondering if we could

    meet a day with the whole group but it is difficult because most of the group have different hours that are

    available. Anyways I wanted to show the group the final outline before the deadline on September 22 to

    check if the outlline is right and that everyone agrees with the information it will include. Abigail and Dulce

    already e-mailed me their outline but on Wednesday that I talked with the teacher after class. I showed her the two outlines and she told that they where right but had to include it only 1 page. Thank You!
