Project: My Community's Government Helpers!
Task: Design a poster that shows how your local government helps the community. Think about the services and rules that make your community a better place to live.
Your Poster Must Include:
- A Title: Something like 'Our Local Government Helps Us!'
- At least 3 different services that your local government provides (e.g., roads, parks, schools, safety, libraries).
- A drawing or picture for each service.
- A short label for each drawing explaining what the service is.
- Color and neatness!
What You Will Be Graded On:
- Accuracy: Are the services truly provided by local government?
- Clarity: Is it clear what each drawing and label represents?
- Completeness: Did you include at least 3 services, drawings, and labels?
- Effort & Creativity: Is your poster colorful, neat, and well-organized?
