 * Description of lesson**
 * <span style="color: #001bff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Students will be required to get on the internet and proceed to my personal wiki. Once there they will be instructed to proceed to the page where my Mapwing tour is located. Once there they will need to take the tour. At each stop they must answer the questions listed in each comment and use search engines to find the answers. They will also need to go to the given website and do some exploring on their own for a fun new fact.
 * <span style="color: #001bff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Students will be graded on if they answered the questions as well as if they demonstrate that they explored the other websites given. Accuracy is encouraged, but will not be counted as part of the grade. This is a purely participation grade. In order to get full credit you must have an answer to all four questions at each location as well as one fact from the listed websites. Lastly students must find one other website that was useful to them in helping them find the answer or a website with pertinent information to that region. Answers will be put in a WORD document.
 * <span style="color: #001bff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Students will need two class periods possibly three of computer time. They will also need a list of search engines acceptable for use in finding their answers. Microsoft word will also be needed as well as a properly formatted example of how to give their answers.
 * Here are the sites to use at each location.**
 * <span style="color: #001bff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**For Colorado []**


 * <span style="color: #001bff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**For Utah []**

 * Here are some videos about the five states and their primary attractions!

Each video gives us a visual picture of what each location looks like and its unique features. In Wyoming we explore Yellowstone National park. In Colorado we explore Estes park. In Montana we explore Glacier National Park. Lastly we will explore the culture and geography of Boise, Idaho and Salt Lake City Utah. Because they are in the same region there are many similarities, but try and focus on the unique features of each location.

Being able to find information that you need is a key skill they will use the rest of their lives. They will also be perfecting their use in word and formatting that I give to them, which will also be forever useful. Combined they are utilizing key elements used in writing papers in the future.
