American Geography Games Part 2

Also as a note - Students who scored 100% (100/100) on the last Map and Cap Quiz do NOT have to take the quiz. I mentioned it in post long ago, but just wanted to remind you, in case you think your child is trying to squirm out of studying!

I'm reposting this, as many student can't locate it from 2 months ago. I've added lots of new games and clarified it a bit.

Next Map and Cap is coming in November (8th? 9th?). Get to work, kiddos!

The Most Popular (amongst parents, too): Name all 50 states as fast as you can.

Accurately place the state capitals in their correct locations.

This is another version of Game #2, dragging states into their correct places. A very tough one, but gets easier when you've placed 10 states or so. Thanks to Alyssa McLean for the find!

The simplest of state ID games, but annoying as states are sloppily drawn, making identification sometimes unfair and inaccurate.

This is by National Geographic, and you can test your knowledge of all countries, continents and states/provinces throughout the world. Might be tougher on slooooow computers. Thanks to Mrs. Hagensee and Macy Murray for finding this one.

Finally, a completely new game that not only requires identification of a state, but also asks you to type in the capital name, too. Thanks again, Macy!

Another great game - you need to draw each state, identify it, and name its capital. Lots of different learners should like it - and learn from it! Jordan Krawczyk - you the girl!

And if you're not having an easy time thinking "you can do it," check out this kid. Many of you lose any valid excuse when a kid can't even dress himself knows all his states and capitals. And he even eats while doing it! He must be Food Smart!

Native Cultures Projects DUE 10/26

Most students have made great strides this week in the IMC. With 120 minutes of class time and the supervision of myself, the aides, and the IMC staff, most students have done tremendous work finding information and creating a product that shows some authentic learning. I'm impressed with what many students have done... I look to see very good things tomorrow in class.

When turning in Projects tomorrow, please turn in the following:
1. The actual project!
2. Your blue rubric sheet (2 sided)
3. Any written information
BE SURE YOUR NAME IS VISIBLE ON ANYTHING YOU TURN IN!!!

One thing I will add - I will offer an extra credit opportunity to students who wish to present their projects. 3 points apiece to students who give a 1-3 minute description of what they designed, where they found their information, and what Big Question they answered.
