Indiana History Semester Theme
I started my semester theme with some basic map lessons. I believe students need to know their directions, where the state is located, what states border it, and other interesting facts. I included in my first lesson that 1/2 the nation's land area lies 700 miles outside Indianapolis, but 2/3 of the nation's population lies within that same 700 mile radius. It is so interesting! I will build on this lesson with other interesting phenomena about Indiana.

That's an awesome idea to teach the students! Actually, in my 4th grade class, we had to make Indiana scrapbooks with maps and the history of my home town. I had a lot of fun learning about Indiana, and I'm sure your students will too! =)
