The Country report and float project is one of the most looked forward to project of 6th grade.  Students choose a country of interest to them.  As a class we write a business letter to the country's tourist office in search of information.  Students then recreate the country's flag and map.  Students then write an extensive report including an outline page and bibliography page.  The culminating project would be the students creating a mini-float with objects that represent their country.  These floats are then pulled through the auditorium for all of the elementary and parents to view.
