The resource that I chose to use is Discover America
(Britannica). I chose this resource because I teach 7th grade geography. As I
looked through this resource I had so many ideas about what my students
could use this for. It offers students an in depth look at each of the 50
states including the land, climate, plants, people, history, economy, and
tourism of each state. I would recommend this to teachers who teach geography
in grades 3rd- 8th. I would like to use this resource were students create a
Google Slides presentation about a state. Students would research through this
resource to find information on the 8 themes of culture (Art, History,
Language, Social Groups, Religion, Daily Life, Government, and Economy). They
would create a slide for each theme and use the information from the text to
describe the theme for the state they are assigned. I plan to use this in my
classroom during the upcoming semester.
