will study a city of their choice, and create and produce a virtual tour of that
city using software with a multimedia slide show feature. Grade Level: 5 - 8 Subject Matter: Social Studies, Geography, Art, Technology Project Length: Approximately 10 class periods.  Students will be able to:  Describe the geography and climate of their
chosen city.
Develop a narrative describing historical and interesting sites located in the
city. Create
a city map of the city with either Internet resources, computer-generated
graphics, or a hand-drawn image. Study the history of the city, identify its founding
fathers, and describe the founding fathers' contributions to the community. Name key economic
activities that have contributed to the growth of the city, both past and
present.
