Next: Go into Blackboard, Week 14, and complete the activity. Note:  The first one is a practice with the document that was given to you by the writer.  See if you can complete A-Q on your own. The second one is the chapter assignment sheet. After completing both of these, begin one of the edits for your document (choose amongst the two or three you selected).
