Assign each student another state and have them research the same information as before. Instead of making a collage about the state, this time the students will construct make-believe travel brochures. The construction paper will be folded in two and the information researched will be included on the inside. Inform the students to resist decorating the front of the brochure. Tomorrow s activity will be a great help in decorating the cover.
Students continue to work on filling in their states and capitals map.
The student will use computers to look up their assigned state s flag for the travel brochure. The students will then finish decorating their travel brochure by decorating the front with their personal replica of the state flag. The remainder of the class time will be spent presenting the travel brochures and talking about each state. The travel brochures should be displayed around the classroom. Students can share their song with the class if they wish.
