What is this Project? You will be given a country in Europe. -You will need to make a 28 slide PowerPoint presentation. -The first page will be the title page. The last page will be the resources page.

Is There Going to be a Test? Yes there will be. This is how we will do it. You will have to make a fill in the blank worksheet for your presentation that will allow people to take notes during your presentation. You will pick 3 questions that you think are important off your study guide and submit them to me. I will then make a test out of all the questions.

We will be doing other things While you are working on this project we will be doing other things in class. Whether it will be that we are studying Europe, or some other place. You will need to be self motivated to get this project done and to keep it moving along. We will take the last couple weeks of school to present these.

What Else? You can find the information wherever it is. Whether it is books, encyclopedias, internet, etc. One word of caution. The internet is full of false information. Make sure you can prove the information is correct before you use it. You must cite your sources on the resource page. You can just not copy someone else’s work and use it as your own.
