States Project

As you all know, over the last 12 classes we have been

working with the Southeast region of the United States! We have
learned about a lot of exciting topics involving the Southeast
region! Just as we did when we completed our Northeast region,
we are going to complete individual state projects.
Each student will be assigned on of the states covered in our
unit plan (Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida or
Louisiana) to create their state project about.
Over the course of the unit we have discussed the region as
a whole, this is a chance for you to dive deeper into each state
individually and learn all about the state you are assigned!
What is required:

Tri-fold board
o

Name of your state

Population

Bordering States

State Flag

State Flower

State Bird

When did it become a state

Five interesting facts about your state

The board should be attractive and easy to read

You will share your board with the class in a museum display

The rubric that will be used to grade is on the back of this page.
