Draw Your Way Through the USA

Each day we will learn about 10 new states. We will start each class by learning how to draw these 10 new states in a an easy step-by-step approach. After drawing the states, I will share with the students interesting facts about the states in this region and what they are known for (historic landmarks, food, etc.) We will will then review past States/Capitals that we have drawn and learned about from the the previous weeks and play an interactive review game.  (Although this is an ongoing class, new students could easily jump right in, too!) 

By the final day of class students will have a full map of the United States that they have drawn by hand!
