Dear Parents,
Attached you will find a Social Studies research project that your child must complete and return to class. This research project requires Internet research. I will provide the links necessary to answer the research questions. However, your child will need your help in order to complete the research component of the project. This project is an integrated project. This means that it will be counted in more than one subject area for a grade. The project will be integrated into Language Arts, Social studies, presentation, and listening. Language Arts and Social Studies teaching blocks will be used in order for your child to complete the poster board in class. No complete poster board from home will be accepted.
ALL RESEARCH IS DUE BY: OCTOBER 10TH. Students will begin assembly of poster boards on October 11th. If your child doesn’t have his/her research then he/she will not be able to begin the next part of the project.
Project requirements:
1. Your child must answer all research questions in his/her own writing. No Internet printouts will be accepted in class.
2. All answers to research questions must be answered using complete sentences.
3. Your child will need to bring one Internet picture of his/her explorer to school. The Internet picture can be no larger than 3X5 inch size (a regular printout size like from your camera).
4. Your child must bring a blank (empty) poster board to school. All components of the project will be completed in class, except the Internet research.
5. Attached you will find the rubric on which your child will be graded for the project.
Your cooperation and support on this project is appreciated and needed. If you do not have Internet at home, please see if you can use a family members Internet.
Thank you for your continued support,
Sincerely,
The Grade 3 Team
