Middle School End of the Year Project

Here at Riverside, our 6th-8th grade class has chosen a school from each of the 49 other states within the U.S. to complete a similarities and differences project. Each student drew 2 or 3 states from a hat, chose a school within that state that interested them, and wrote to them in hopes that they would share out a bit about what school is like in their state.  Once all information is collected, they will complete a paper comparing and contrasting all they have learned!

Here was the general information sent, prior to students filling in their individual opinion pieces. 

Here is a list of the schools chosen from each state. We have high hopes they will all write back:
