Go through the process of buying something online. You can
choose any site you want. You don’t really have to purchase something,
just enter the data and choose "pay by check," or some other function that
won’t really place the order. I recommend you use amazon.com because, you
can choose a pay by check option. Print off a page that has your name or
some kind of indication that you went through the process of purchasing
online. Ask the teacher for a sample of what should be printed off if you
don’t understand.
Why choose a pay by check option? The company won’t send
you the product until they receive your check, if you don’t send a check
then they won’t send you the product. Remember:
Do NOT use credit card #’s or cheques.
