Some good websites to use are: www.theUS50.com, www.50states.com, and any state Department of Tourism website. You may also use the library to search for books on your state.
You must find and display the following information on a poster:
State Motto
State Flower
State Tree

State Flag - Re-create your state’s flag on a large sheet of paper and attach it to your poster. Use color!
