= TRA THROUGH THE REGIONSVEL =

=For many people the chance to travel throughout the United States is a rare opportunity. Many people never leave the state they live in, let alone travel to many different states. This lesson is designed to allow you the opportunity to search the internet for information on different regions throughout the United States. We will be using this Quest a little differently than intended. We focus only on North Carolina in 4th grade, so every group will select North Carolina from the map. We will use cooperative groups to complete projects designed to help them become "experts" on states. We will then present our completed projects to the class.= = Your group's job is to complete the following tasks for North carolina. The group will consist of four specialists: Architect, Producer, Human Resources, and Management.
