You need to tell me what is mined in your state, don't just put a web address there. If you need help check with some of your classmates.

You still need to tell of any crops grown in the state and correct the part of about what is mined there.
What is the state shell? You mentioned an interactive museum, but didn't say what is was called or what it is. Each state has two senators, you only listed one. You mentioned Pawtucket as a famous person. You need to tell why. Include some pictures.
You have 2 days to get this finished up. You've done a good job, let's finish it off.
