Teacher and students locate Louisiana on a world map and a U.S. map, using Microsoft Virtual Globe.
Students locate Louisiana on printed map, identify compass points, identify neighboring states.
They mark and label all. Students use a note-taking guide to list three facts about Louisiana, based upon what we heard and saw. Students listen and observe more Louisiana facts in video, Gumbo Island or other resource. 3-6 students list Louisiana nouns as part of the prewriting phase of the writing process. They use this list to write sentences or paragraphs.
