Lab Day

We went to the computer lab today and my group and I are having some trouble trying to make it so our script sounds like a news report and that the construction of the Erie Canal is happening at the time. I think it's because we have to talk about the proposal, which was about 5 years prior to the construction, the passing of the bill to get funding and how the president vetoed it, and the actual building of the canal. If anything, I think it would be easiest to do a historical report on it, because it's hard to pick an event time period to "report" in. We can't do the proposal, because then we'd know everything that's happening in the future, so basically we have to go as recent as possible, I'm thinking that it would make the most sense to report during the ending of the project, and kind of review what happened for the last 10 years or so.
