**Trifold Project**  After each unit on the countries or states that we learn in Geography we will have a project/party. Each student will get to choose a country or state from the geographical location we just finished studying. The student's job is to research the following information about the country: their location on a map, their flag, the language spoken, the currency, cultural aspects, demorgraphy, famous people who are from there, any interesting ceremonys that are preformed, and a short description of a famous dish/snack. All this information will be put on a trifold board. In addition, the student will make the famous food/snack and bring it into class for our party. You must have the recipe the day of our party so people can look at it. After introducing the new material, you will choose your country or state. Start doing research on it, and I will give you two weeks to complete this project. Specific dates will be given in class, but out party will always be on a Friday. Great start for the weekend!

** ‍Activity on Presidents ‍ ** As dicussed earlier, we will learn a little information about each president starting from George Washington to Barack Obama. There is a video that we will watch everyother day that talks about information on a specific president. You will either fill out a worksheet, or you may write in your journal what you learned about each president. On the worksheet the questions will either be fill in the blank or short answer, but it will follow the video. In your journal, you will write what information surprised you, background information about the president, or what specific event is associated with that specific president.
