Geography World Interactive is a fun easy project designed to motivate students in all grades to learn about various cultures and geographical areas while communicating and creating Landmark Pages. It enhancers the MathWorld Interactive learning experience by sharing cultural and geographical information with other students.
Students choose a local landmark to research and learn about.
The landmark can be anything that they feel symbolizes and represents the part of the world where they live. They create a brief, but well-written, description of the site. Of course, they will want to include any historical information, geographic directions, and explain why they selected the site. Then, they take a picture with a camera or sketch the landmark. Finally, they scan the images as gifs and send them via e-mail with the written description to Geography World Interactive.
