Hello my Fabulous Fourth Graders!
Over the next 2 weeks you (and I) will be learning about Oregon and all of its amazing geographical features!
What are geographical features??? Mountains, volcanoes, lakes, rivers, high deserts, forests, grasses, anything that has to do with the land, plants and waters of a given area (in this case, Oregon!).
Your job will be to create a presentation showing what you’ve learned using Google Slides. When you are done, you get to show the class, and maybe others, what you’ve learned about our amazing state!
You must include least 5 slides (one for your title page, one for the places where you got your information-called a bibliography, and at least 3 with information)
A good rule for slide presentations is to make sure you don’t read your slides to your audience and to have only a few facts per screen. No one wants to read a screen that is so crowded it’s scary!
here’s a great video on presentations
The first thing you need to do is explore these sites and see what interests you. When you do find what you think you want to learn more about, head over to our Google Class and create a slide in the assignment named “Oregon Geography Slideshow.”
Now, let’s get started!
(Psssst…. Don’t forget to be thinking about what you can present! You should consider taking notes as to which site you found something of interest, and the fact that you found interesting.)
