Residents of Virginia know that the state has a wide variety of landscapes. This week, students took a deeper look into the five geographical regions of Virginia; the Coastal Plain, the Piedmont, the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Valley and Ridge region, and the Appalachian Plateau. Each student was given a geographical region to research. After conducting research, they found peers who researched the same region. This lead to the formation of five groups. Each group then created a power point presentation about their geographical region. When their presentations were finished, each group presented their power point to the class. In this particular assignment, students practiced research, collaborative, and technological skills and taught each other the five regions of Virginia!
