b.) Creatively Synthesize Information- In your own words, synthesize what you learned from your search using at least 3 sources. Using your synthesis, create a story board map for the video that you will create. This will be a rough draft of the video you intend to make. Use the design space below or the yellow sticky notes provided to you to map out your idea. Consider how to make your content multimodal: W//ill you enact a concept? Will you use movie images creatively? Will you combine images and sound? Will you be a talking head?//

There is a formal written foreign policy on www.state.gov stating that our foreign policy is more to improve relationships and thus U.S. standing than a "consequence" piece. In order to maintain U.S. interests worldwide, we must be involved internationally and help our neighbors and promote liberty.
