Have students select a topic relating to the regions of Florida. Examples include animals that live in the wetlands, climate in different areas of Florida, population density in areas, wildlife in the coastal regions, elevation in the panhandle, etc. Show examples of HyperStudio stacks to demonstrate the requirements of creating one, including text items, buttons, graphics, and sound. Each stack must include a title card, a table of contents card, and information cards. All buttons must work and they should include at least one graphic.
Students do research on their topic in the library or by using resources in the room.
Students plan their presentation by creating their stack on index cards and editing and revising them. In the computer lab, or in the one computer classroom, the teacher takes the class through the process of beginning their stack and making the title card with a text item and a button. Students complete their stacks, revising and editing as they go along. Evaluation Students will complete the project with the required items. How culture and experience influence people's perceptions of places and regions.
