 * __**My Unit Summary:**__** Students learn to identify the four regions of the United States. In doing so, they must discover why there are four regions and what makes each unique. To that end, students must look at four different social studies aspects of each region: geography, economy, culture, and history. In cooperative learning groups, they develop guiding research questions and they monitor each other’s progress while researching the answers to those questions. The culmination of the research is a student-made presentation that thoroughly delves into the many social studies facets of the four regions of the United States.
