The 8th graders created a bulletin board for the World Cup. We included the eight groups of four countries each who qualified for the Cup. The four teams in the group play each other and the winners advance.The sixteen teams that advance play each other and the losers are eliminated and go home. Each 7/8th grade student created a powerpoint presentation talking about the country we chose a slip for explaining about the country. We found 5 facts about their country: 1 fact should be about the World Cup, 1 should be about the population, 1 fact about the government, 1 fact about geography, and 1 fun fact. We included at least 3 images from the country, with citations of the sources. 8th graders are updating the bulletin board as the teams advance. We enjoyed watching the USA beat IRAN Tuesday at 2pm. The US Team plays again Saturday at 10am against the Netherlands. Come check our bulletin board out!
