toc media type="custom" key="4987277" = = =Welcome to the 6th Grade Geography Project Wiki!=

Ms. Andersen and Mrs. O'Reilly have put this wiki together as a way to keep all of the information related to the project in one convenient spot. The Science/Geography fair will take place on Thursday, February 25th, 2010. As you know, certain activites will be done at home to prepare for the fair, such as creating a costume, finding items to display, and building a model. Information regarding those activities was sent home on December 1st.

In school, we are doing research for and creating a Geography Project. This project has taken many forms over the years, and this year we are trying something new. Each student will research to find information on his or her assigned country and use that information to write a narrative. The narrative will explain and describe such things as geographic features, economic factors, historic events, and cultural highlights. The narrative will culminate with a prediction- //What does the future hold for this country?-// and an evaluation- //Why should the world even care?//

After the research has been done, the sources cited, and the narrative written (and edited and revised!), students will be asked to locate a number of images online which complement the text. The images and the narrative will then be combined and made into an informational video.

Students should their time wisely and come to school every day! We will be busy and working hard to get this project done. If school days are missed, a student can always catch up by doing research at home. Students //**must**// be in school to make the videos and if too much time is missed, the video a student makes may be of poor quality.
