Mrs. Turner’s Star Challenge

 

 

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Text Box: This challenge is for students who are interested in achieving "above and beyond" the normal classroom expectations.  All you have to do is learn all about the topic, and then write down your answers.  Turn your responses in to me and sometime during the day I will talk to you about them.  You must know the answer and be able to explain it and show that you have done some research and not just memorized a list.  You can become a 1 star member all the way up to an 84 star member!  You get to choose.  Please let me know if you come across any broken links or found a great website to share with the class!
