LANDFORMS-FIFTH GRADE

Bryce Canyon, Utah
Last summer I drove with my family from New York to California and back again. This is called a cross-country trip. We visited many wonderful places, especially out West where there are magnificent landforms, like the ones I've included here.
As part of our landforms unit, you will create an island out of clay and include six different landforms. You will then label the landforms. Next you will create a travel brochure for your island, explaining the landforms on your island and how they were formed. This project will be due in early May.

Grand Canyon, Arizona








Devil's Tower, Wyoming












Zion National Park, Utah

ms. seitz pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee answer my question!!!! i need it to be answerd before the project is due!!!! HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!

Ms. Seitz said...

Maimuna: Didn't you get the sheet describing the project? If not, come see me, okay? The clay island has to feature six or more (no more than eight) landforms...mountain, cave, peninsula, etc. You label them using a toothpick with a piece of paper with the name of the landform on it. Like a little flag. The brochure is supposed to compel me to visit the island. It should introduce your island and describe how each of the landforms on the island were formed. Hope this helps.

Ms. Seitz said...

Marwa: You make a flag using a toothpick and piece of paper. Write the landform type on the paper, like "volcano" then tape it to the toothpick and stick the toothpick into the clay. Hope this helps. Ms. Seitz
