This class will be taught using a combination of direct instruction, visuals, and hands-on activities. The class will be fun and orderly, with plenty of chances for student interaction! We will begin class by defining the 4 geographic regions of Texas. Using google maps, we will look at specific examples of each region. We will identify major landforms in each area and discuss their characteristics. Finally, using playdough and a handout, we will construct a map of the physical regions of Texas. Students do not need any prior knowledge of Texas geography to take this class.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
I lived and taught in Texas for five years, and had the opportunity to learn about the unique and fascinating history of Texas! I was particularly amazed by the variety of landforms and climates that are found all within one state. This activity has been adapted and modified from a classroom activity I used during the time I taught in Texas.
