Students will listen, take notes, and gain knowledge about other student's state reports. Students will research state information using Internet, Encarta CD, and the library. Students will either write a report or make a Power Point presentation about their state. Students will give an oral presentation about their state. Students will create a postcard about their state.
Parents can also help students create a computer-generated postcard to represent their state.
Student could find an e-mail pal in assigned state to interview and check research information. Students can use search engines to locate information about their specific states. Students will record 3 interesting facts as they listen to each student's presentation. All rubrics will be given to each student at the beginning of the assignment. This lesson was inspired by textbook but is an original idea.
