   4. Use interactive media

   2. Large map of the community
   3. Local library
   4. Internet:

   5. One sheet of paper per group
   6. Newspaper archives
   7. Poster board
   8. Markers
Activities:
   1. Students brainstorm as a group and make a list of “facts” they know about their own
      community.
   2. Continue brainstorming and make a list of things they would like to know. Guide them to
      include how their community got its start.
   3. Divide the students into groups of four. Give each group a picture taken in the community.
      Each group determines from the picture any reason why their founding fathers might have
      chosen this particular area for their city. Have students write a paragraph describing their
      picture.

   8. Interview city officials about their knowledge of the community.
   9. Create a Voki character to represent the city official. Make this character say part of the
      interview. Present this character to the class.
