A BEST SELLER! Perfect for Intermediate Grades 3-6!

This is a great way to enhance and reinforce student's geography, cultural, and map-skills with this Create a Country Project! It's focused on the major themes of geography and map skills and encourages creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork!
First, have students read the informational articles and complete the activities to get them thinking about how they would build their own country. What would they keep the same and what would they change? This project is ideal for group work or with a partner. From start to finish, it will take about 1-2 weeks. In the past, I've had students present their countries to the rest of the class for a final grade.
