My Southeast Region BookletContents + Notes for Teachers

by Tom Wier

Cover - I have students color or highlight the states of the Southeast region.

States + Capitals - My students use Social Studies books or they do it in computer lab to enhance search + research skills. Answer key is provided.

Rivers – Students use research tools to label the map. They could do this in pairs also. An answer key is provided.

Industries – Students unscramble the words to find some of the major industries in the Southeast region. I provide the first letter of each word for ELL students or those with special needs. We discuss the answers later in class. This is a good “partner” activity for those with limited vocabulary skills. Answer key is provided.

Agriculture – Same format as industries. Answer key is provided.

Natural Resources – Same format as industries and agriculture. Answer key is provided.

State Nicknames – This page can be used to enhance research skills using various resources. We discuss the reason behind the nickname. Answer key is provided.

Places to Visit – Using the alphabet code, this activity can be done by all students independently. I show PowerPoint slides of each place when we’re finished. Answer key is provided.

Acrostic Poem – This is a fun activity that allows lots of creativity and provides me with feedback about what students have learned. We share responses.

What I Learned - This page can be used in a variety of ways. I use it to enhance paragraph formation (topic sentence, detail sentences, conclusion sentence). It also can be used to assess students’ understanding of the region.

The booklet consists of ten half pages that can be assembled as a mini-book for students. The pages can be copied front to back to save paper. I assemble them in the order stated above. I welcome your questions or comments at [email protected].
