WHO AM I?
INTRODUCTION:Are you ready to take a journey around
the United States? Get your spy gear ready because you are going to be
looking for me, a state. I could be hot or cold, north or south, I could be
anywhere. I will leave little hints to give you a better idea of which state I might
be. Keep your eyes open because I could be anywhere. Good luck!
TASK:
Draw a picture of the state that I am. Label the state capital, second biggest city, what the state is known for, and the state symbol. On the back of the
page write a paragraph about any information you have gathered about
this state. You must have at least 4 sentences.
PROCESS:1.Get into teams of two and have a list
of the fifty states in front of you.2.Have a pencil and highlighter to cross of the states that I am not. 3. Here is a link to a map. Look and see which states touch 4 other states, for I am one of
them. This will bring you closer to finding out who I am.
