Congratulations!  You have been elected the Director of Tourism for the state you have chosen.  It is your job to gather information about your state and to create an informational poster and report that will be used to help tourists know more about your state.  Try to convince them to come for a vacation!

 

You will work on this mostly at home on Google Classroom, but there will be some time in class.  I will set aside a minimum of 30 minutes of computer lab time each week to help with research and some time in the classroom to help students get their notes and rough drafts organized.  It is important that students bring their research packet with them to school each day.

 

As with all projects, you cannot procrastinate.  Make a plan and stick to it!
