Feb. 19th
Do you believe students should memorize all 50 states and capitals?
Think about this question and then respond below in comments section. Do not read the chapter until you answer the question.
Then read Chapter 5, pages 163-177. This should take you about 20 minutes. Take notes on the Map and Globe skills that are needed in Social Studies.
After reading the pages, turn to page 169, look at figure 5.1. You will create your own map grid of the state of North Dakota. You can use the same questions found on figure 5.1 but relate the questions to ND. Or you can create your own 3 questions to coincide with your ND map grid. Be creative. You can use a computer generated grid or draw on a paper using a ruler. Be creative with this. Do not copy from the web, make it original and your own. Bring to class on Tuesday Feb. 19th.
Any questions please contact me. Have a great weekend!

Yes, I believe it is mportant for children to mater the fifty states and the capitals of each state.
ReplyDeleteI do believe students should memorize all 50 states and capitals. I think it’s important for students to know information about the country they live in. The location of each state and where the oceans are. They also see what countries border the United States. Students get the opportunity to learn map skills and get them ready to learn about other countries.
ReplyDeleteYes, I would agree with my colleagues on this one and say that it is important to know and understand all of the 50 states. But, not solely to memorize them but to LEARN about them and it's locations.
