Reading Packet II:
Look at all three of the student constructed books from previous versions of
this course. Carefully consider the table of contents. How did they arrange the
material? What did they seem to leave out? What strengths and weaknesses did you

what other information would you want?
Read "Constructing the Woods" in its entirety. Make sure that you leave enough time for this! It is the equivalent of reading a book.
