Georgia's Regions

I don't write the science lesson plans for second grade on my collab team. I write the writing plans. So when I was trying to write a higher order thinking essential question for the 5 Regions science unit I was not very familiar with the standards. Making this critical thinking writing project really combined science, writing, and research in a meaningful way for my students. They loved figuring out the answer to the farmer's problem. Their stories were actually really well written with minimal help from me once I helped them through the first page and demonstrated how to turn their notes into a story. We even had time to research cotton more to determine why it's planted in a certain region and we included those facts in the end of the book.
