State Podcasts
As part of your fifth grade social studies standards, you will memorize the 50 states, capitals, and locations. As an extension, you will research and look at the geography of each state and learn about other state trivia facts. You will then create a state podcast that solicits potential visitors to the state. No two people will research the same state.

Once you have researched, you will need to collect clipart for the information you gathered about your state. For instance, if the Rocky Mountains are located in your state, you would find a picture of the Rocky Mountains on the computer.
