Ohio+History

Learning Unit #3

 * 4th Grade Social Studies Ohio History

Students will begin this learning unit by logging in and using Poll Everywhere to answer the Ohio History series of three polls that I have created, and find out what they might already know or need to learn about the history of Ohio throughout the course of this unit of study.

In the first activity, students will use Google Maps to pinpoint or add a place mark to one location or attraction in Ohio that may prompt people to visit Ohio. Students will include a brief description of this attraction, the location, and why it might be fun to visit! Think to yourself, why would tourists want to visit Ohio? See Sample Below: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Cleveland, OH View [|Ohio Attractions] in a larger map When you finish, post the link to your Google Map on our Wikispace.

In the second activity, students will use the Scratch program to create an animated "Welcome" message using one of Ohio's state symbols (ex. state bird, animal, tree, flower, etc.). See this Sample of our state insect-Ms. Ladybug welcoming you to the state of Ohio. When you finish, post the link to your Scratch Animation to our Wikispace.

In activity three, students will be using Google Presentations to create their own Ohio Atlas. This presentation will be full of interesting facts and information that we've learned about Ohio throughout this unit. Students can let their creativity shine in this presentation. Please see the Sample and the Rubric below for guidelines and expectations for the presentation. When finished, you will need to publish your Ohio Atlas Google Presentation to our Wikispace.
