Collect the following items for your scrapbook. Each item is worth a designated amount of points, so you can earn as many as you like. I take into consideration the amount of work put into finding or collecting some items, so point values differ based on effort. Final project due June 4, 2010.

 5 point items: (up to 70 points)

o       leaf from state tree

o       leaf from state flower

You can earn as many or a little points as you like. It is all up to you! Your grade will reflect the point value of the items you collect plus the finished product.

 

Grading Requirements:

Items collected:  up to 126 points

Neatness of product (decorated cover, items labeled): 15 points

 

 

o       View other student projects on Mrs. Lamb’s website on the Social Studies page

o       The finished product can be as elaborate as you wish, but do not break the bank! A polished, simple project is better than a fancy product without much thought put into the actual items collected. The collected items are what matter!

o       Use an old photo album or binder and decorate the cover to save money.

o       Use the cheaper sticky photo album pages if you like. They hold together well.

o       Carpool with classmates to get your photos. Group shots are ok!

o       Have fun with your family doing this. You may all learn something!
