Hunching Locations

Objective: Students will analyze the souvenir experience.
Activity: Each group shows each of its souvenirs, giving its predicted location and rationale for that choice. A secretary uses large, colorful markers to record the information on a chart headed: Souvenir – Guessed Location – Actual Location. The owner of the souvenirs then provides the actual location. Students discuss appropriateness of the rationale for each choice. (Several short class times may be scheduled to complete this activity as opposed to one lengthy session.) The souvenirs are then displayed on a bulletin board labeled: The U.S.: A Land of Great Variety.
Evaluation: Quality of discussion.
