State Research Writing Project | State Report

How would you like to teach state history in a new and engaging way? Your students will research an assigned state, write an informational piece about it, and then create a t-shirt themed on the state they researched! If you'd like to take the project even further, I've added a component for creating a PowerPoint and implementing technology!

Printing Notes:

While I recommend printing in color and laminating materials for future use, it is not necessary. These materials print just fine in grayscale. I would suggest printing "as image" to avoid any potential issues.
