State Trivia Cards

 Good day, 4th and 5th class members!  This is one of my favorite assignments of the whole project because it is fun to do and adds a great deal of spark to our state booths.

Here are the criteria...please note that the highest score will be a nine out of ten because of number 8.

1. Do some research on your state.  (Keep track of those sources for your bibliography!)  This should be new information and not recycled/used on other components such as the state flower or famous person.
2.  You are to come up with five interesting trivia facts about your state.
3.  Three of your facts are to be accompanied by a fitting prop.
4.  Fact can be written as a question with a hidden answer.
5.  Use your computer to display your facts in a clever and creative manner-lettering, font, color, border.
6. Each fact should be printed on its own half sheet of paper.
7. Use a half sheet of paper for each fact, not a whole sheet or smaller than a half.
8. You will use your facts in your state fair booth. This will be graded at that time.
9. Mount your facts on slight larger half sheets like construction or art paper.  You may use paper from home or you may get some from me by Monday.
10. Your parent or adult helper may assist you with computer skills, but they do not get to do fact finding for you.

Next week's states and capital test:

Arkansas, Louisiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida

Have a great week.
