State Fair Project

The State Fair Project was introduced on Monday this week. Each student was assigned a partner and a state. Each partnership is responsible to:

•Write a letter to the tourism department of the state requesting information for the project

•Research general information about the state

•Plan a vacation in their state (using the tourism information they receive)

•Write a paper about a historically famous person from the state

•Write a newspaper articles about a significant event in the state

Each group mailed out their tourism letter on Wednesday. We hope to receive information back! Next week we will start researching our states!

After each component of the project is complete we will have a State Fair where each partnership will present their state. Almost every state will be represented at the State Fair between the four 5/6 language arts/social studies classes.

For the State Fair each partnership will need a three-sided poster board.
