This activity is INCREDIBLE but it is really intense!

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ ALL OF THE DIRECTIONS ON THE DOCUMENT, AND READ CAREFULLY ON THE VIRTUAL ACTIVITY. I can't stress this enough - you must read everything carefully.

Most importantly, this will take more than one class period, so make sure that you copy down your SESSION ID in the document (one of the first things you have to do).

DAY 1 - Fill out session ID, and the first two charts.
We will do the rest tomorrow.

The Exam will be on Friday 2/26.
