Postcard Project

We have each chosen a country in Europe to research. We will be using books from the library and websites from Cobb Virtual Library to learn about our countries and write a "postcard" about our visit. The final project is due on Friday, October 7. The research will be done during class. The final project will be mostly done as homework.
