Activating prior knowledge & Hook/Lead in
Modeling of the Concept
Once the students watch the video and we review the
states and capitals, they will listen for the rules about
the stations. At each of the 6 stations, which will
represent the 5 regions of the United States and one
technology station, there will be a bigger map on the
desk and the students have to fill out their worksheet.
The first station will consist of the states in the West
region of the United States. The students will work
together as a team to remember the states and capitals
in this region.
The second station will consist of the states in the
Midwest region. The students will be given the states
and have to write the capital that matches it.
The third station will consist of the states in the
Southwest region. The students will be given the
capitals and have to write the state that matches it.
The fourth station will consist of the states in the
Southeast region. The students will be given options in
each state and they will have to pick the correct state
and capital.
The fifth station will consist of the states in the
Northeast region. The students will be given a mix of
the states and capitals and they will have to write
whatever part is missing.
