The title of your next solo project is Great Britain. It is due on Monday 20th December. We will continue to research and read about Great Britain in school. You will be given time in class and homework time to complete it.
A good project is easy to read and the information is presented neatly. Here are some guidelines to help you.
- Your project should be 3 or 4 pages of an A3 scrapbook.
- Choose 4 topics to write about.
- You can find your information in your SESE copy, ‘Small World’, websites, books, newspapers or magazines
- Your project information must be written in your own words, so paraphrase when you can.
- Your project must include a map of Great Britain, showing countries, cities, rivers and mountains. You should include at least 3 other pictures or diagrams. They can be drawn or printed.
- Include a bibliography at the end, which is a list of where you found your information.
Here are some ideas of topics to include:
- What countries make up Great Britain? What are the capital cities?
- Physical Geography: Rivers, lakes, mountains, seas
- Famous landmarks or tourist attractions
- Flag of Great Britain and of England, Scotland and Wales. What do they symbolise (what do the colours/pictures mean)?
