For your P-K children, this will be totally oral unless you have a child like Ava who has entered school with some developed verbal skills.
K and Grade 1 students will be able to draw a picture and write a few sentences about that picture (story or information).
Grade 2 students will be able to expand on the project by researching information about their particular choice before writing.
