This United States Research Unit is perfect for students who are learning how to use informational text and studying the United States. It is a great component of your USA state reports! Everything you need for a successful unit is included.
Students will first learn how to use the text features in an informational text including the table of contents and index.
Then, students will be assigned one US state. The focus of the digital research unit will be on the students’ assigned state but they can also learn about US History, the founding of the country, and the American Revolution through their research.

Students will first learn how to use the text features in an informational text including the table of contents and index. Then, students will be assigned a state. You can choose if you would like your students to work individually, in partners, or in groups. Students will have a United States Research Journal that they will use as a guide as they research the United States and their assigned state. Editable sections have been added to the research journals so you may add your own questions!
Once students have completed their research, they will use it to complete two culminating activities: a state report/presentation and a salt dough map of their state. Finally, other classes and parents will be invited to the “State Fair” where your students will share what they’ve learned about their state and show off their maps!

I thought the packet was a little easy for 4th graders. But it did help them research the states.

Excellent research focused packet on researching a US State. This packet has everything to help get the students started with their research and work through the project. I really like some of the final presentation ideas presented in this packet from the Salt Dough project to the State Fair.

Excellent research focused unit. This unit has everything to help get the students started with their research and work through the project. Having these in Google Slides format is perfect so my students can research and create on their computer both in school and at home without losing their work.

This is perfect–we are teaching virtual and traditional students so to have a unit already prepared for both is so time saving!
