REMEMBER ………………..In this DIG you will want to read each QUESTION, follow the BUTTON that links you to where the answer can be found, and then use your browser’s BACK button (usually upper left) to come back into the DIG and post your ANSWERS. When composing an ANSWER, be sure to make it a full sentence – example, if the question is How many Channel Islands are there? Do not answer with just a number, write a full sentence that includes the answer. Also, it is very important to include your first name and school or teacher’s name in the YOUR HANDLE box before you post every time…. HAVE FUN !!!!
