We will be starting our state projects next week. These projects will require a great deal of work over the next month. At least six hours of computer time will be given at school to research, as well as considerable time to use books for research. I will be sending home an outline of the requirements for this project on Monday so everyone is aware of expectations.
Our final projects will be presented on Portfolio Night on Wednesday, June 2nd. Conferences will be held Tuesday, June 1st and other times as needed to fit them all in.
One requirement of the project is to send a postcard to a resident of their state. I am looking for address of relatives or family friends in various states for students to write. If you have a dependable contact in any of the following states, please send me their address:
Missouri
Michigan
Ohio
West Virginia
Idaho
Utah
Wyoming
Vermont
New Hampshire
Arkansas
Rhode Island
New Jersey
Delaware
Louisiana
Virginia
Wisconsin
Nevada
Alabama
I can't wait to get started on this project! It should be a lot of fun and a rewarding experience to see how all the hard work pays off in the end.
