partner will have 2 days to work in the library, to do your

research.(April 15 and April 23)

In between these 2 dates, I encourage you to work on your commercial at home or in the library

when possible.

How to proceed:1. Read carefully through the green section.

2. Choose a partner and select a number from the tin.3. Find your number in the Orange Section and visit

your monument (click on the link)4. Scroll down to the Yellow Section in order to find

2. The Script which you will read as a voice-over for your Publicité. (The script should be written in English)
