Task
You guys are going to work on a twenty-two slide PowerPoint which will cover the different continents, countries, maps, and even states and capitals in order for you guys to do research on what they look like and where they are located on a map. This project will need us to divide into groups of 4 students.
Process
For this project I want you to create a group of 4 students. Your group will create a total of 18 slide PowerPoint (4 slides a person).
One slide for your introduction, which must include everyone’s names and which slide #’s that they handled. Last slide is for references and links. The rest of the 16 slides will be split up into 4 sections. Read the following.
SECTION ONE, USA STATE’s and CAPITOLS.
