Itinerary

Your itinerary for this field trip is come back with enough information to do two things:

Teach a group of first year college students what you think are the fifteen most important tips for keeping healthy by designing a PowerPoint Presentation that you could present to college students.( If you do not have access to PowerPoint, you can still show what you presentation would show.) You should have at least one tip from each category above. Be sure to include the source for your information.
