I Never Thought I'd Say This...

...but, I'm so excited about geography!  That has always been one of those units that I only taught because I had to.  I have certainly always believed that it is important, but I've always had a difficult time making it fun for my students.  However, I finally feel like I have found a way to make it exciting through the use of an independent study project for my high achieving students.  I have created a geography enrichment unit where students complete three different activities from a choice board.  Each of the choices on the choice board are from the three highest levels of Bloom's Taxonomy (analysis, synthesis, and evaluation).  The unit includes teacher directions, check points to ensure students' progress, independent study contract, daily work log, choice board, student directions for each task, and a rubric.
