**For the hands-on part of the project, which is done at home, you may assist your child in creating this visual aid to shoe what the report is about.  Suggested ideas are: a poster with picture(cut out or drawn), a diorama, building a model, drawing a picture, creating a display, wearing a costume, or cooking a recipe; anything that will SHOW what his/her written report is about
