Please note: *** If you have chosen Mercury, Venus, Earth, or Mars: you are required to add many more content, photos, and captions for full marks. You still need the same number of slides, so you should replace slides that do not apply to your planet (ex."Rings") with more content, pictures with captions of your planet. *** If you are assigned Pluto: you are required to replace pages that do not apply to your planet with a definition of a dwarf planet and examples of other dwarf planets.
