8. Should you work with others, or go at it alone? You may work in a group of up to 3 students. It's your choice. But you should choose wisely and consider the advantages and disadvantages of working in a group. Will you or your partners be anchors or sails?

HW - For next class, you need to have decided on the following:

• Whether you will be working along or in a group. If in a group, who your group members will be (maximum of 3 students in a group)
• Choose which group (from the list above) that you would like to focus on
• Write one paragraph (6-8 sentences) about why you are interested in the history of that group. Turn in paragraph to the eBackpack assignment "NHD Assignment #1."
