Social Studies Region Projects Name________________________________

Our class will be completing five projects in social studies. We will do one project for each of the
regions we are studying. The students must choose a type of project for each region, and they have to
complete ALL five types by the time we finish the five regions. This way, there will be a variety of
projects for each region, adding to the interest and creativity of our class. You may work on the
projects at any time, but they are due on the dates listed below. We will start with the Northeast
