Note: Since you will be choosing your own groups, you will be responsible for any outcome of the group work.  The presentation is due on the day it is due no matter who in your group is present.  Make sure you exchange phone numbers.  In addition, you should have all your work ready and in the classroom the day before it is due, just in case someone from your group is absent on the due date.
