Presenting what we learned

As we learn about different regions of the United States, one of the things that it is a lot of fun to learn about is how the culture of each region varies. 

As Americans, we have a lot of similarities, but we have some interesting differences as well. Certain foods, or types of music, or leisure activities might be different depending on what part of the country we live in.

We were introduced to Haiku Deck a few weeks ago, when we learned about synonyms and antonyms. That was our first time using this tool, so our first Haiku Deck slide shows were quite simple.

This week we used Haiku Deck a bit more extensively in Social Studies. We divided into pairs and read about either the music, the food, or the activities people do for fun in the Southeastern United States and find interesting details in the reading passage. We then used Haiku Deck to make a slide show to share with the class what we learned. It was a great opportunity to practice informational reading skills and presentation skills. 

Everyone did a great job!

Here are some of the Haiku Decks we created.

When we were finished presenting our slide shows about what we learned there were a lot of comments such as, "We like to do the same things in Michigan!" "I like that kind of music too!", or "That's one of my favorite foods." 

It is fun to see how we differ, but it was easy to see how we are similar.

What did you notice about the music, the food, and the fun in the Southeast? Are there any things you like to do to? Are there things you learned about the Southeast?
