Process
1. Get into your assigned groups and take note of the decade your friend is from.
2. Discuss what types of things you might want to research for Martin. Make a list and plan how to find this information.
3. You must include the four categories below as well as two other types of items that do not fit into these categories. Come and let me know the two other categories your group has decided on.
4. Begin looking at the resources provided below to create your care package list.
5. When you have finished your list, your group will need to write a letter back to Martin to let him know what you found for him and how you know he will appreciate those items.
6. At the end of this process, you will be presenting your care package to the class.
