How are you going to do this?

 

You are going to present your information either using a poster, a newspaper article, an essay, or by making a slideshow.

 

How will I be graded?

 

Funny you should ask that. You will be graded by meeting the basic requirements, the accuracy of your information, how well researched your government section is, and overall appearance. This will be a big part of your social studies grade.
