Describing the U.S Carousel Activity
Unit 2 Lesson 7: This lesson reviews the content covered in the entire unit through a carousel writing strategy. Six large sheets of chart paper are posted in the room labeled: Location, Landforms, Climate, Bodies of Water, Human Characteristics and Regions. Working in small groups, students move from one chart to another adding examples, descriptions, definitions, etc. The charts are then reviewed in the large group and evaluated for accuracy. Students then participate in a culminating activity to create a book describing the geography of the United States or independently to construct a visual about the geography of the United States.
