a familiar tune...

As we move into learning about Europe, we will first tackle the British isles. To start our lesson today, we will hear the national anthem of the United Kingdom. The tune is the same as our song, "My Country 'tis of thee".

Caribbean project 1/8

Today we will be researching Caribbean islands & making cultural brochures to share with other students. You will be working with a partner (randomly chosen), and will have only today in class to research, and the weekend to finish.

Task: 1) Research the Caribbean islands.
2) Take notes on the websites you see
3) Make two brochures with your partner

Roles:
1) Historian - Responsible for brochure sections 2, 4, & 6
2) Artist - Responsible for brochure sections 1, 3, & 5


Here is how you and your partner will create your TWO brochures:
First, fold white paper into three parts.
Fold 1- Flag and name of Country
Fold 2- History of Country (at least FOUR facts)
Fold 3- An artistic scene of area or picture of that country
Fold 4- The biography of a famous person of that country
Fold 5- Map of the country
Fold 6- Travel tips.
(Your brochures should be almost the same, but you must make tw0)

How will it work?

• Today, research for 20-25 minutes.
  
• Then complete your sections on ONE brochure.
  
• Give that brochure to your partner, and take the brochure they completed.
  
• You can now finish your second brochure by using the information you already know.
  
• You can NOT print pictures offline, or print off maps. Everything is by hand! :)
  
• You can NOT type anything to print off & glue on your brochure. It must be by hand!
  
• You CAN type information you want to remember on MS word, but you have to close the document before we leave today.
