Objective: To help you become more familiar with the different regions of Texas.
Directions:
1. Each of you will complete a Texas Regions foldable of the 4 geographic regions of
Texas and a Native American Tribes of Texas chart for a HW grade.
2. Next, I will put you into groups of 4 or 5 and assign a region to your group.
3. Your group is then responsible for a 5-7 minute presentation over your region. We will
have at least 2 days in the library to work on the project, so use your time wisely.
4. There are many ways to present you region:
