The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Comparing the Regions of Texas:
Overview In this experience, students label the four physical regions of Texas on a map. Then they create a general map of Texas, with a list of things to include. Next they create a chart comparing and contrasting the four regions. Finally they evaluate their school’s location and how it fits the region’s typical physical characteristics. Estimated duration: 50-75 minutes, depending on which strategy you choose for completing the map Vocabulary words: Objectives
Texas is divided into four regions—the Mountains and Basins, the Great Plains, the North Central Plains, and Coastal Plains. The regions are determined by the physical geography, such as landforms, climate, and vegetation. You have learned about the regions in this unit. In this experience, you will summarize what you have learned so far.
Objectives
If your students have completed the previous four experiences in this unit, they should be able to correctly label the map.
