6. Mini-Project: Movie Poster

2. You will be working on this individually, but you can talk quietly with the people around you. You will not be moving seats, though.
3. A portion of your grade comes from neatness and effort. I am not expecting you all to be expert artists, but I do expect an effort.
4. There are computers in the room for you to use to research your gods and goddesses more if you choose to do so. You can use your phones for this as well.
