Fifty States: Georgia

Is this a Full Unit or Mini Unit? Georgia is a little bit of both! It is a Mini Unit, in that it is just four lessons, designed to be completed in one week. However, instead of just two pages per day in the Student Notebooks, there are five per day, and this unit will cover all your subjects other than math. 

What is this unit about?  Along this road trip, you will check out captivating locations like Tallulah Gorge, Stone Mountain, the historic city of Savannah, Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, and the Gather ’Round headquarters! Experience history firsthand as you walk through the unique grid of public squares found in the state’s oldest city and learn about the Indigenous Peoples who first called Georgia home, then study a few well-known symbols that highlight the character of the region. We also dig into the wide variety of weather that you might experience here, as well as the industries that keep this state thriving. Student Book activities include mapping, lesson summaries, Coca-Cola, Spanish moss, the Trail of Tears, comfort food, and the civil rights movement. At the end of the unit, students will have the opportunity to review what they learned with some narration-style questions found in the appendix of the Teacher’s Guide. Student packs are divided into three levels:  

• Level 1 is for Pre-Reader and Early Reader with little to no writing and more hands-on or cut and paste activities.

• Level 2 is designed for Early to Upper Elementary with a bit of writing without being too heavy.

• Level 3 is for Middle School and High School with more written responses and deeper thinking.
