American History, Week 5 - Journeyman

 

Well, we made it!
ALL THE WAY THROUGH
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE
50 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!


Let's wrap things up and
have a little fun on our last week.

******************************

First, we will be playing a Kahoot game, so it would be awesome if everyone could have their own device to use for that.  But that will come after....

....we have a little PRESENTATION from each student.

I would love for each of you to let me know what you've learned this year in our U.S. Geography class.

You get to decide what to include in your presentation.

But please take it seriously and actually prepare something!

And please plan to take about 3-5 minutes for your presentation.


Here are a few ideas for you to consider:

  1. Assignment #1 each week was to learn a fun little song to help you memorize all the 50 states and capitals.  If you actually did that assignment for each class, you can SING the song that you learned!  You should know it INCREDIBLY well by now.  So I hope you'll sing it with confidence and with gusto.


  2. Refresh your memory of ALL our National Parks by reviewing all the pics in my Google Folder - HERE.  I will flip through all the flash cards that we have used throughout the year, and we'll see how many you can identify.


  3. Refresh your memory of a few of the fabulous American Landmarks that we're blessed to have in this great nation of ours by reviewing the pics in my Google Folder - HERE.  I will flip through the all the flash cards that we have used throughout the year, and we'll see how many you can identify. 


  4. Go to the Family Search website and log in to your LDS account.

    Then go to this web address

    https://www.familysearch.org/discovery/explore/heritage

    Hopefully it will take you to a page that will display a breakdown of percentages, the percentages of your heritage from countries around the world.  Take a screenshot of the results and print out the pic for us to see.  Or just show us on your device.  Or just write down the results and share them with us and also any interesting observations you have about your family's ancestry.



  5. Study all the state flags by reviewing all the pics in my Google Drive - HERE.  I will flip through the flash cards that we have used throughout the year, and we'll see how many you can name.

  6. Study all the state shapes by reviewing all the pics in my Google Drive - HERE.  I will flip through the flash cards that we have used throughout the year, and we'll see how many you can identify.


  7. Practice reciting all the state names in alphabetical order, then AMAZE us with your great brain by reciting them in order for us in class.


  8. Study and review all the states and their CAPITAL CITIES.  I'll draw out the state capital tiles that we have used throughout the year one by one, and you tell us the state to which it belongs.  We'll see how fast you and your great brain can get through all 50 of them!


  9. Use your Great Brain to come up with a meaningful way to present what you have learned in Geography class this year.

    ****************************

    and..... IF YOU HAVEN'T ATTENDED GEOGRAPHY CLASS THIS YEAR AT ALL YET, OR YOU HAVE ONLY ATTENDED ONCE OR TWICE, BUT YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND THIS WEEK AND PLAY SOME FUN KAHOOT GAMES WITH US....

  10. Prepare a presentation about something you think is REALLY COOL about U.S. Geography or the United States in general.  You decide!  Just make sure your presentation is approximately 3-5 minutes.
     


AND ONE LAST THING.....

Complete this short questionnaire to let me know you will be in Journeyman class.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE AND HEAR
YOUR PRESENTATIONS!!

Thank You
for joining us in
Geography Class this year!

I have enjoyed every minute with you all!
