15 What did I leave off? Write your answer down on a card. Pass all cards to a table captain who is to choose his/her favorite and hand it to me (The table captain is the person who is seating facing the speaker most directly.)

16 Mark Your Paper On slide 1, mark one (and only one) of the items with an A. Then, mark another item on that same slide as F! Repeat the A and F markings for slides 2-4! Copy your answers to duplicate sheet and pass in one of your duplicate copies! Discuss your conclusions with your table! A = Highly likely. Very Important. AND I can play a real role in anticipating its impact. F= Least likely.to have an impact in my lifetime OR this should not be on your list.
