United States Geography

Where have you been?

Our first unit was on the geography of the United States. The Students received a map of the United States and identified all of the states they have been to. Then they chose one state where they took a trip/ vacation too and thought of all the activities they did there.  Each of them received an enlarged version of the state and drew and labeled all of the things they did while in the particular state.  The states the students chose were: New Jersey, Rhode Island, California, Florida and New York.  The end product of this unit was a brochure they each created for their states. In the brochure they wrote about attractions, fun facts, shape of the state and state flag.
