Class Announcements

Governor Projects

Seventh grade students are researching and developing a Governor of Texas which will be their project for 3rd nine weeks.
The students will present their findings in early March. Each student drew for his or her governor project. Each project must be accompanied by something unique to the presentation which is student choice. Each student may use a half piece of poster board and create a timeline, a collage, etc.
This requirement must be turned in with the report which represents the life of this particular governor. Anything of interest that is unusual, comical or interesting should be included as well. The report should be turned in to M. Davis in a folder which keeps the report in order as well as neat and clean.
The Resource Page must be typed and alphabetized. A parent may type for the student, but the parent may not write the paper for the student. This report should be in the student's own words. This project is valued at 200 points or two test grades.
