What educators are saying

My 4th graders are loving this activity! They are so excited to learn about a new state and share their information with their classmates.
We used this fan system as an interactive notebook. It complemented our 50 state studies very well. The kids enjoyed finding the facts and mapping major cities and rivers or landmarks on each state. Highly recommended for this age group of 9-10 year olds.

Description

Are your students writing State Reports? This United States research project includes templates for all 50 states, making it easy to assign each student a different state (if desired.) In just one download, teachers can print a project for each state, as well as a common note-taking sheet that guides students through the research. The State Report is only 3 pages in length (giving students the confidence to complete it with excellence) but is packed with information. When done, students have a resource that can be used again and again!

UPDATE: Additional optional pages have been added to the report. Students can now also report on 2 places to visit, a timeline of the state's history, and/or a famous person from the state.

  • Directions for the teacher
  • Recommended resources (both print and digital) to get you started

Process:

❤️ "My students and I loved this resource and they were engaged throughout the whole thing. It did not take much time at all to prepare and was very easy to use. It was a great resource to use to learn about the states." Mary K.


❤️ "My students loved doing this project, and I loved that it gave them structure, educational rigor, as well as a “fun” activity (coloring, cutting, and assembling the fans). This is a fabulous alternative to the open-ended “research project” recommended by our textbook. I’ll be using this every year, for sure!" Christa D.


❤️ "I loved using this resource with my students because it was fun, engaging, and easy to use with students of all levels. This made our class projects much less intimidating and raised the end result for all students." Mariah G.
