 The Lessons will be taught one region per day and the activities consist of read aloud at the beginning of the lesson or at the end. Watching engaging videos that are
relevant to the region we will be covering. The students will be filling in their graphic organizer to write the most important points of the region, whether it is the people,
food, shelter, beliefs, and art. As a whole class we will fill in the blanks to complete our paragraph. The student will also work in groups to give them the opportunity to
gather the information for their graphic organizer.
