State Brochure Project

As many of you know, we have begun memorizing the states, capitals and locations of each state on the map.  The class started their quest on the eastern seaboard and will continue traveling westward as we learn about the colonization of America. 

For our brochure project, we recently traveled to our St. Jerome computer lab to learn how to create a "travel brochure."  Students learned about the template feature and how to edit and process the information in an organized manner.  Students will create a state brochure that solicits potential visitors to the state.

Due Date: Friday, February 25
