places while you progress through the SmartBoard Presentation you
build. In each, you will have to choose the appropriate type of
clothing to wear, or determine which is the best way to react to a
given situation.
You

your answers to questions your
classmates will ask. You can accumulate up to a total of
1,000
points, 500 per character.
Each
character's progress will be

through the SmartBoard slides at any time by clicking on the BACK arrow
located at the top of the screen.
Beware! If you quit a place before you answer all the questions, you
will lose all the points you accumulated there.
