The map must contain at least 5 bogus landmarks which are not part of the directions to the treasure. The
treasure map can be anywhere and lead the treasure hunter to any treasure (school appropriate!). No late
projects will be accepted. If you do not turn in a project or if you fail the project, then you will be given a
written test as a retest. Per district policy, the most you can earn on a retest is a 70.
