There are two requirements:
1. A visual project on your child's county needs to be completed. This project can be an idea of you and your child's choice. Sample ideas include a display board, diorama, student-made travel brochure, mobiles, decorated cake showing highlights of the county, Powerpoint presentations, etc. Use your imagination and have FUN!
2. Each student will "teach" the rest of the class all about his/her county as he/she shares the visual project with us. These oral presentations need to take around 5 - 10 minutes apiece. Remember to keep them below that 10 minute mark. Some of the things this report could include are: Location and brief history of county, scenic attractions, county seat and why it was chosen, other city/town information, famous people from the county, and any other interesting information discovered while researching.
There will be two grades associated with these projects: One for the visual presentation and one for the oral presentation. The class will be taking notes about the county as your child presents.
If this date doesn’t work for you, please let me know immediately and we can give you a new due date. I will give earlier due dates, but no switching to a later date.
We are not inviting parents to watch these presentations this year. We will be sharing the projects with you at “Spring Literacy Night” later this month.
