For your state, you are to prepare information on 3x5 index cards that will include the following: history, physical features, climate, population, economic activity and major historical sites to be given in an oral report to the class. You will also make a map of your state to include the capital and other major cities. We will be going to the library and the computer lab to find some great resources to aid us in this project. Any pictures you find to help you in your oral report would be great.
