The digital revolution has caught up
with the venerable Walkthing. An MP3 player is the perfect tool for
people on the go who have moved their music collections onto their
computers. Because they're digital-- some with absolutely no moving
parts--MP3 players don't skip or warble if you're running, skiing or
biking.
Before you just run out and purchase a player it is important to understand all the terms and jargon.
1. Below are a list of words that I would like you to use the internet
to find the definitions. Please write the words and their
definitions into your note book.

3. You are now all Mp3 Player experts. I would like you to use
Microsoft Works to write a quide for parents to use when purchasing a
Mp3 player. Please be very specific in your guide. Assume
parents don't even know what an Mp3 player is.
Your work should be saved on your 3 1/2 floppy disc. Please use "Mp3Guide" as your file name.
Below is a Rubric that will explain how you will be graded!
