MY CART
You will be creating and designing your OWN country including:
name of your country
location: absolute and relative
a map and flag of your country
culture, language, government, religion, food
climate and animals and much, much more!
In this compressed file is included:
1. Three page Questionnaire for students and teachers to use depending on the grade level of your students.
2. A checklist for students to use
This could be done individually or with a partner or groups.
I have used this project many times at the end of school year as a culminating project for social studies to reinforce all we've learned throughout the year. It could also be used after you've taught the Five Themes of Geography since it's built off of them. Students love the idea of creating their own country. As a part of this project, I have student research a "real" country---see my other items for that zipped file.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have over ten years teaching experience at the Elementary and Middle School Levels. Over the last ten years, I have worked in a team setting and particularly enjoyed collaborating with other educators to develop projects and hands on interactive lessons. Using the Backwards Design, we were able to create an entire integrated curriculum in social studies and ELA to meet the state standards and make learning fun. I am a firm believer in Project Based Learning and hands on activities. I believe that it’s essential that students take responsibility for their own learning. In a classroom where students actively solve real problems by asking questions, collaborating, and figuring out viable solutions, the students get to take the initiative in the learning process. By taking risks, learning from their own mistakes, and creating authentic projects, students learn how to think critically as well as learning content matter.
