Students Create a California Missions PowerPoint Presentation
Students use the internet to research information and collect images about one of the California Missions. Students create an informative presentation about the mission's history, native people, crops grown and / or livestock raised and other interesting facts. They may be able to use information found in their textbooks. This activity is a good opportunity to discuss plagiarism and bibliographies.
