Choose three activities.  You must choose an A, a B, and a C.  Bs and Cs are individual activities.  A is a partner activity.  These can be worked on in any order.  I would suggest starting with threes because they are in pairs and can be done in class.  This will require you to work outside of class!!  Please sign up in the back for your partners.
