- Suggestions for Relocation: * Start with the big picture - geography. You want to make sure that the relocation spot has a similar geography (landforms, climate, etc.) to CG. You won’t want to move us to a desert, tundra, or rainforest.
* Once you have narrowed down to a region in the U.S., consider town size next. Where can we fit? If a city is overcrowded already, there won’t be room for us to move there or enroll in the schools.
* Make sure that overall, the relocation location will not be overwhelming or stressful for China Grove residents to adapt to. - Due date for presentation - January 31, 2018 (end of class)
- Presentations - February 1-2, 2018 ( presentation should be roughly 5 minutes each)
Rubrics for PBL can be found in the Schoology PBL folder. There are TWO to consider. One for the PBL, one for the presentation.
