Greatest States of All Time

Students have chosen their states and are ready for the March Madness showdown. Bare minimum participation (for a grade) is an informational poster about their state. Then they can campaign for their state to win their matchup. They can make commercials, posters, T-shirts, flyers, bookmarks; whatever they think will get the votes.
