Process

1.    Your teacher will assign you a state for you to research, give you a state report worksheet packet to complete, and have you create a Power Point or Photo Story presentation to convince the royal family to visit your state on their vacation.

                       (see below for Power Point Presentation instructions)

 

2.     Any information, photos, or graphics you would like to save about your state, should be saved in your state folder in your common folder.  Make sure to get permission for any pictures you wish to use.

 

 

3.    If you don't already have a copy of the worksheet packet, please get one from your teacher.

 

 4. Start researching the information needed to complete the state worksheet packet.

 

 

5.    You may use a variety of resources to help you find the information needed to complete the state report worksheet packet. Some of the information you may want to use include searching the internet, state reference books, encyclopedias, and travel brochures.
