2nd Grade Showcase

After finding out a little about each of Georgia's regions, students chose a region and wrote a proposal explaining why their region of choice should be the home of the nation's next National Park.  After writing this convincing argument, it was time to dive even deep into researching five areas their particular region.  They discovered the common flora and fauna of their region, found out about the landforms and water sources in that area, and learned a little about tribes and important people who lived in the region.  After choosing one from each category, we discussed different types of parks, including water parks, amusement parks, and, of course, state and national parks.  

The challenge the students faced was creating an exhibit, feature, a learning center, or even a ride based on the five areas: flora, fauns, landform, water, and person/tribe and write a creative description of each.  Their exhibits were fantastic, The features were phenomenal, The learning centers were spectacular, and the rides begged to be created, so they did.  Each student chose one attraction and created their vision with a 3D pen! !
