SPRING FOLLOW-UP STARTS / KEVÄTSEURANTA ALKAA!

The spring is finally here! Go out and take pictures from the signs of spring. Do a PowerPoint presentation of your pictures and share it to the teacher. Share the document immediately when you start. 

Present each sign of spring or even summer (kevään/kesän merkki) in it's own slide and write down:

1) The date when you first noticed the sign and took the picture 

2) The place where the picture was taken. 

3) In addition you can add own observations. 

In each picture you have to have a mascot of your own OR your nametag, so I can be sure that you are the one who is taking the pictures. You can take several pictures of the same thing. You can also record voices. This will be a longer project and will last the whole April. The deadline is Monday 12.5.
