You have many options for your final project that you will present during the fair.
  1. Poetry: If you want to download poetry options, go to Webquest.
  2. Write a daily journal or story describing a member of your CAC's culture: a child, a government official, an explorer going into an unknown region of your CAC...
  3. Create short stories about events or people from your CAC.
  4. Create a newspaper addressing "current events" of your CAC.
  5. Create a fairy tale or tall tale that might come from your CAC.
  6. Create dances that might be done by members of your CAC during a festival, ritual, or ceremony.
  7. Make musical instruments and play music from your CAC.
  8. Write a speech persuading others to help with an issue your CAC is facing. (Note: you are welcome to have this connected to an issue faced by your "real country".)
  9. Create an "invention" of your CAC that had unexpected effects....write about this.
  10. A recent problem (ex: population explosion) arises, how will your CAC solve it? What will be the effects? Create an evening news broadcast that would be typical for your CAC introducing this problem and solution.
  11. Other: the sky is the limit! Be creative and have fun!

4. A costume representing either your real country or created country.
**You should be ready to explain WHY this costume relates to your created country.
**The costume can be a complete outfit or just part of an outfit.

**Remember, costumes should reflect school dress code and weapons are not allowed.
5. Another visual that will be helpful during your presentation.

**Plan your time wisely, though, so that you visual is completed on time.

Plan for CAC Projects:
