1 Print the worksheets. Click on "GC" in the documents section of my website.

2 Go to the park find the information and fill in the worksheets. This may take many hours. There is a battlefield section and a museum section. I believe the Museum closes at 5 pm daily.

3 Take a picture of yourself at the park near an identifiable landmark. Pictures can be emailed, brought in on device, or printed.

4 Turn both in by 10/26. No exceptions can be made because this is the last day of the grading period.

5. DO NOT wait until the last minute to do this. Weather does not always cooperate, and you probably cannot get it done after school in one trip. It is NOT alright to take off of school to do this.

6 If you all go to the park together it is OK to do this with friends. Do not give your work to someone else.

7 You will receive 5 100%'s in the grade book; the equivalent of a perfect test grade.

8 Questions other than extensions email me.
