The students will be using Microsoft Publisher to make brochures about one of the 50 states.

Day 1:

    What is the New York State Bird?

    What is the Capital of Minnesota?

    What is the Capital of New York State?

    Who is the Governor of Georgia?

    Please describe what Alaska's flag looks like in your own words.

    Name two of the largest cities in California.

    Name one President that was born in North Carolina.

    Does Idaho have a nickname? If so what is it.

• You will need to answer each of the following questions above.

• When you have answered all the questions, you will then go to file, save as, and save the file under your name and 50 states.

• Afterwards, you will then need to go to file, then down to print!

• Don't forget you have two days to hand this in!

    Day 2 Making a Brochure!

    You will be working individually.

    You can use the same websites that you used on day one or you can search for your own!

    You will be making a brochure on one of the 50 states of your choice.

    You need to put colorful pictures by copying and pasting pictures on to the brochure and try to convince someone to visit your state.

This brochure needs to have the state flag, the state bird, the state capital, and the state flower on it. I would also like to know who the governor of your state is.    This brochure should tell me what cities I should travel to and what the city has to offer. You can also put any other information you feel is important and I should know about your state. Make sure you cite your sources (including pictures) on the last page of your brochure.

When you are finished with this brochure you will need to save it, then file print it and hand it to me. You will have one week starting today to hand this in! Don't forget to be creative and have fun with this project!

Evaluation:

You will be graded on your completion of each question that you have answered.

You will also be graded on how well you used your resources, and how neat your brochure is.
