Students were assigned a Geologic Time Period and given the task of becoming an expert on that topic. Students will research, make a brochure, create two illustrations and present their topic to the class. The tentative due date is June 4. Most, if not all, of the work on this project can be completed in the class period, however, there may be some students who for one reason or another will need or want to work on this project at home too. For more information, students have received a packet with specific criteria and instructions. Ask you child to bring the packet home for your perusal!

Students will be either writing descriptions of these works or printing or recreating them in some way.
