Note: There are two dates to the left of your name on this schedule. You are to turn in written Safaris to your lab instructor the week AFTER your name appears. In other words, if you are scheduled to do the Safari for Sept. 13-15, you surf the Sun Sentinel and the Herald and turn it in during the week of Sept. 20-22. See the Safari Guidelines for help on what to look for.
