Five Themes of Geography Tic-Tac-Toe for student choice activities

Resources that will help you complete your activities:

1. A list of World Regions from the CDC:  http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/regions/list.htm

Game ideas:  Bazinga game directions can be found here: http://simplifyingradicals2.blogspot.com/2012/05/bazinga.html


You can create your own unique game as well.

2. You can Google "family tree templates" and find a template that you would like to use to create your family tree. Here is a good tree you can print and fill out or type in the template and print out:  http://www.irish-genealogy-toolkit.com/free-printable-family-tree-chart.html

3. Use excel to create your graph. I can help you with that.

4. I have some poster paper you can use.

5. Google "flow chart" to see what yours should look like.  You can probably find a template to create online.

6. Use Word to type up your myth and illustrate it with clip art or your own drawing.

7. You can create a 5-column chart in Word.  I can help if you don't know how.

8. Type up your interview questions in Word leaving space between each question to record answers.

9. Your travelogue should be typed in Word.

Back to School Caricature {South Park Style}

BACK-TO-SCHOOL
ACTIVITY

By Tracee Orman

www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Tracee-Orman

Students go here:  http://www.sp-studio.de/index.htm
The website “SP-Studio” was created by Janina Himmen and is not affiliated with South Park or
Comedy Central. 

Have fun!  {p.s. I do not condone South Park, the tv show, I actually think it's very inappropriate.  This activity has nothing to do with the content of the show except for the style of illustration.}
