Washington State History

Hey Washingtonians!

Here is the slide show from today's class. You can use this video to complete a few sections of your state project this week.

Most of the information you need for the timeline is in the lesson. More timeline dates and details can be found on the 50 State Guide.

State reports are not due until December 18. That's because I expect them to be accurate, colorful, detailed, and complete! 

The report below is not quite complete, but you can tell this student is off to a great start!

 

If you would like to share what you've done so far, you can k-mail, e-mail, or text a picture of it to me. I love seeing your work!
