Summary
The students will choose a place of interest in the Southeast from a list of national parks, cities, monuments, and places of interest or historical significance. After conducting research to learn key facts about this site, students will create a riddle describing the place using personification, similes, or metaphors. Within the riddle, students will include the location, significance to the Southeast region, and other key facts. Then the students will create an ActivInspire or Keynote presentation to share their riddles. Each page of the presentation will include a title, the riddle, a picture, the
answer to the riddle, and sources used during research. To conclude, the students will present their riddles to the class.
