Process
Step 1:
You will be provided with a "Becoming an Expert" graphic organizer. On this graphic organizer it will have your name, a Georgia region, and a color. The color will tell you how you will gather your information. You will also be provided with a template of Georgia, where you will draw in your region.
Step 2:
Next, you will meet with your region team. When you are with your region team, you will use the provided resources to gather information about your Georgia region. Here are directions based on the color you were given:
You will also draw the outline of your region on your blank Georgia state template.
(Both can be found on the "Graphic Organizers" tab.)
Step 3:
Once you have gathered information and completed your "Becoming an Expert" graphic organizer and the Georgia template, you will return to your home team. Each person in your home team will read what they wrote on their graphic organizers. This is educating each other on all of the Georgia regions.
Step 4:
After everyone has shared their findings, you will work together to create a presentation to send to Darla. This presentation must be one from the choice board found on the "Presentation" tab. Some examples of student presentations have been included for you to see.
*Remember, this presentation will include information on all five Georgia regions.
Step 5:
Once every home team has created a presentation, you will share them with the rest of the class. I will also share them with Darla!
Now you're ready to begin! Good luck. :)
