READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE STARTING. TODAY'S TASK IS SIMPLE, BUT IT COULD TAKE YOU THE WHOLE PERIOD.

Today, pick your three favorite bundles from http://themedassignment.blogspot.com/.Be sure you choose bundles you are willing to devote the next two months of your life to.

Now we're going to figure out which one of those three will be the best choice for you.

Some things to consider:

Do I have time to find all the stuff in this bundle?
Do I have time to read all the books, watch all the movies, etc?
Are the books in convenient libraries, or are they supercheap and easy to buy?
Or are they far away, or crazy expensive?

So for each item in your bundle, figure out the following things and write them down (show me when you're done):

1. Title (example: Ender's Game) (example: Shrek)
2. What it is (example: novel) (example: film)
3. Closest library (example: El Cerrito) (example: Richmond)
4. Cost (example: $5.65) (example: $12.29)
5. Where (example: Amazon.com) (example: Overstock.com)
6. How long (example: 386 pages) (example: 93 minutes)
7. Available online? (example: no) (example: no)

You'll answer these questions for every part of all three bundles (exception: websites, Wikipedia articles, other plainly online content).

ASK ME QUESTIONS IF YOU'RE NOT SURE HOW TO DO THIS.

These websites may help (note that they are also in the sidebar of the bundles page):

Everylibrary Everywhere
If you decide to buy online, I recommend starting at this website.

Useful sites for determining page count, running times, etc include Amazon and IMDb.


And when in doubt, ask Google.
