The first project I have my students complete every year is a West Virginia travel brochure. I'm a 6th grade English teacher and this may seem like an odd request but I find it to be a very easy way to gauge my student's abilities. We begin the process with research using the iPads. Next the students fill out a graphic organizer with fast facts and important dates from websites about their subjects. Some examples of subjects that I have used in the past are: Harper's Ferry, Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, the Pringle Tree, the West Virginia Wild Life Center and so on. At the end of the project I have them present the travel brochure to the class. This year I included mini-lessons on copyright and google searches. Once the presentations were complete I used padlet and asked the students to include one thing that the learned from the project.
