Homework: Complete 1 of 2 options.

Option 1: As discussed during class today, what is the difference between relevant and irrelevant information. We discovered and defined the vocabulary word, RELEVANT, as important, to the point, and significant. IRRELEVANT as one of the student noticed is the opposite of relevant. We defined as garbage, trash, off the topic, and not important. Please create a T-chart (by folding your paper in half) and write 3 sentences of relevant and irrelevant information about Richard Preston as an author.
