My Minecraft USA Geography: Build and Learn States and Capital City

Explore the United States of America like never before - through Minecraft! In this interactive and educational class, students will embark on a virtual journey to discover the geography, capitals, and landmarks of each state in the USA, all while building and creating in Minecraft.

Each week, we will cover five different states, progressing through all fifty states over the course of the class. Students will have access to a variety of engaging activities and resources, including short video lessons about each state, coloring pages to decorate, and build maps to help them recreate each state in their Minecraft game.

But that's not all! Students will also learn about a major landmark in each state and will have the opportunity to build a landmark or defining characteristic of each state in Minecraft. They will even learn how to program a command block that will teleport them outside their USA map to see their creations come to life!

To further enhance their learning, students will participate in a weekly word search featuring the names of the covered states and their capital cities. Students can share their work in the classroom to receive personalized feedback and encouragement from the teacher.

At the beginning of each week you will receive:
-short video lesson highlighting the covered states (capital city, major landmark, fun facts)
-build map to help you recreate the state inside Minecraft
-coloring page of the state quarter
-word search pertaining to the states that week

Inside Minecraft students will learn how to:
-recreate the shape of each state
-construct a sign with the state name and capital city
-record a fun fact in the book and quill
-build a state landmark
-program a command block to teleport the player to state landmarks

On the final week of our class, we will play an interactive and fun game of USA Bingo to practice all that we have learned about the USA. I will also introduce students to some fun review games on abcya.com and hands on resources that I love to use when teaching the states in my own homeschooling.

Throughout the class, students are encouraged, but not required to share their work in the classroom. I am an enthusiastic and responsive teacher who responds with personal feedback. Please let me know if your student needs any accommodation to participate in this class.
