• Once the dialogue box opens click process from the list on the left.
• You can choose whichever type you like! 

Using your items which you have brought from home we are going to make a brochure advertising Saint Patrick's Day. Keep in mind some people might not have heard anything about Saint Patrick so be as detailed as possible!!

Some questions you should think of when doing this task:

•  How do we remember him? 
• What items are used on Saint Patrick's Day?
• Where is it celebrated?
