The Arctic

1.   You will be given 2 weeks to complete your reasearch. Any choice time, library time and computer time we have during the day can be used towards your research.

2.   You will be searching the internet with the teacher working with you that day. They will be able to help you as much or as little as you need them.  All you need to do is ask!

3.   When in the library you will be able to look through books to gather information. With the help of your teacher, you may take out the books to make copies of the pictures that you find.

4.   After the 2 weeks is up, you will have 1 week to put all your information and materials together to form your presentation.

5.   The way that you put your presentation together is completely up to you. All I ask is that it is creative and that you really put some thought into it.  You may ask any teacher in the classroom for assistance, but when it comes time to present the materials you are on your own!

6.   Good luck and have fun!!
