There are many projects your students could do for the Virginia regions unit. They could do a GarageBand podcast about each region, they could make travel brochures in Pages, or they could make animated movies with Pixie showing a virtual cartoon tour across the state. Let me know if you want to try one of those ideas or perhaps you have an idea of your own. Fourth graders at Chamberlayne are working on Virginia Regions Keynotes this week. You can see my sample by clicking here (you will need to wait for it to load then click to advance the slides). You can download all the files for this lesson here. The packet contains a template for dropping in student folders, the sample, and a folder of websites. Speaking of websites, don’t forget about the Virginia Trekkers website which has videos from each region. There’s a drag and drop activity for identifying the five regions here and you can download a map of the regions for viewing in Google Earth by clicking here.
