The Land of Opportunity

Before we began learning about other regions of the world, we discussed how America is seen as the Land of Opportunity and why. The students created their own version of what this means to them. We then created a map of the US to display our pictures and writings.

Not only was this a great way to culminate our learning about the United States, and compare the United States to other regions of the world, it was another way to allow student voice to come through in the classroom. Additionally, I learned a little bit more about each student as they created their document in the manner of their choice.
