Project 1: Map Drawing of the Mid-Atlantic States
Carefully follow the directions on the OW page. Look at the U.S. map to find the Mid-Atlantic states. Draw the outline of the Mid-Atlantic states on an 8 x 11 size sheet piece of paper and carefully label them. Make sure to label all of the things listed on the OW Project page. When it tells you to label something please remember to include the name of that as well. :) Use your best printing and check your spelling.

Project 2: Research
Look at the list on the OW Project page and chose one famous Mid-Atlantic resident to research and learn about. Then write ONE paragraph on why the person is famous. Include a title and proofread before turning in your paper. :)
Added note:
Anytime you do research and then use that information to write a paper, you need to tell your readers where you found the information you used for your report. These are called sources. You must "site your sources" to give credit to the person who first shared the information. For now you may just add a Sources page to your project. Add a second page (Sources:). Type the title and author of any book you used. Type the URL (website address - copy and paste) along with the title of the page and the author's name (if given).
Later we will learn how to make a real Works Cited page but for now we will start by making a Sources page.
