7th Graders - We are completing a PROJECT in which you will learn about one chapter of the NEW MEXICO textbook and then prepare a SLIDES presentation of the most important information to present to the class. You are becoming the expert of the class on your chapter to share what you have learned with the rest of the 7th grade class. The entire 7th grade class is learning about one of the remaining chapters from the textbook that we did not cover as a class. At the conclusion of the project, the presentations will be shared to teach the rest of the class about what we have each learned about.
