  1. What kinds of people live there?
  2. What special animals live there?
  3. What is the weather like?
  4. What is the land like?

Have you filled in all the boxes on your planning/note taking sheet? If you are still stuck, you can visit one of these search engines to find what you are missing. (You can also use other resources like the library or your Social Studies textbook!)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Now that you have completed your plan, you are ready to write a paragraph about your continent. Use your notes and pictures to write juicy sentences and don't forget the conclusion!     
(You can type your paragraph in Word or write it in your spiral!)
 
Now you must present your work to the class. Use PowerPoint to make a slide show of what you have learned.     
 
Here is  sample slide show to get you started.
 
Here is some clip art for you to use in your slide show.
 
(If you do not want to or do not know how to use PowerPoint, or if you have another creative idea of how you can present what you have learned, talk to your teacher about it!)
 
Turn in your plan and your paragraph to your teacher and present your PowerPoint to the class!
 
We can all enjoy learning about the seven continents together!
 
Great Job! Go to the Conclusion page to see what else you can do!
