John 15:1-5

"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."

After researching a location, decorate a poster board with the following information:

Your name.

The name of your location.

Photos or drawings of the location.

Information on:

Where is the location (continent, country, city, etc)?
Who lives at this location?

Any other information you find interesting.

You should be able to present on your world traveler poster board for at least 2-3 minutes but no more than 5 minutes.

There will be time at the end of your presentation for the teacher and the class to ask some questions! Be sure to do your research so you can answer some questions.

You will present your project on the Thursday of your Star Student Week. It is worth 50 points on the 4th quarter reading grade.
