I can't believe I've been so remiss in my postings, but we have been doing a lot of "in class" work with Chromebooks, and the work has to be completed in class.
Today, however, the assignment for "Create A Country" was handed out. We will be spending March 11-17 working on this assignment. It will be due Tuesday, March 18. There is a fair amount of work to do, but I believe if kids attend to the task at hand, they should be able to complete the assignment with no problem. Most of the pieces can be taken home to complete if necessary. This project is a culmination of Culture and Economics, so there is nothing new. It will just take time and perseverance to complete the work on time.
I have provided directions for the and copies of Economic Activity Charts your child will need to complete for their country. These are just the shortened version of the charts; your students will receive full page versions of these charts.
Thanks,
Cathy
