This interactive, printable booklet is a fun way for your students to study any of the 50 United States. The booklet totals in 10 pages on the inside with a front and back cover. The pages are copied back to back and then folded to form a booklet in a brochure style format. Currently, this project also comes specifically for the state of Florida, which you can find here: State History Project {Florida}
Students will research the following about the state:
State Capital
State Symbols (Bird, Flower, Flag, Tree, Song, Animal, Nickname, Beverage, Butterfly, Seal, Wildflower, Fish, State Reptile) There is also a blank page for State Symbols so students can choose symbols they like.
State History
City History (Students can choose a city from the state or the teacher can assign each student a different city to give each brochure some variety.)
Animals Native to the City
Special Landmarks or Landforms
Important People
Goods or Resources from the Area
Throughout the booklet, there are boxes for each section in which students can draw and write about the state.
Teacher Tips:
Students can use the planning page to gather their information. Then, transfer their information to the booklet as a final product. Students can be creative by drawing pictures of each symbol, landforms, etc.
