I posted earlier and I am already committed to this project with another group but here are some ideas. My students make a booklet. They have research questions (age appropriate ofcourse) to answer. I have a book that| I make copies for the students for each state. As a postcard arrives, we focus on that state. I have a huge fabric map of the US and as a postcard arrives we tag it on the map and place the postcard to the side. As far as the research they have to find the state flag, bird, population, weather, capital, close to ocean,just to name a few. I have several websites for this project as well. | |
Then at the end of the year, they have a booklet about all fifty states. You could have students practice on writing skills by taking turns writing postcards to send to the other participants. If I think of anything else that I have left out, I'll return to the board to let you know. Good luck and Have FUN!!
