United States Map CONTEST & Assignment
Objective:
You will be learning all the U.S. states and capitals.
Test:
In a couple weeks you will be having the U.S. Map Test. (Date TBA)
How You’ll Learn:
Below are links for games you can play to start learning and practicing them.
I would normally give you a blank printed U.S. States Map, that you'd color and fill in with the states and capital names. I am working on an assignment equivalent to complete at home. But for now, you can start to learn the states and capitals.
Grade:
10 points for submitting a picture of your BEST score (time and percentage)
Practicing will only help you.
Submit:
Take a pic of you with your best time/percentage for the STATE NAMES. Submit to the assignment in Schoology. Play as much as you like to get faster and faster.
Score Board:
You can post your best time and percentage in the States & Capitals Contest - Discussion on Schoology.
But for it to count for the contest, you need to take a pic and submit it under the assignment (and for your grade).
I’ll start a discussion forum in MATERIALS just for this.
What to play:
*There are settings for your game at the bottom of the map. Use the PIN setting (default) for the contest.

Dear Parent/Guardian:
I am a participant this school year in an assessment to certify teachers as accomplished practitioners in teaching. My participation in this assessment, which is being conducted by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (the National Board), is voluntary. The primary purposes of this assessment are to make decisions about whether a teacher demonstrates knowledge and practice expected of an accomplished teacher, improve student learning and encourage excellence in teaching.
This assessment requires that I submit short audiovisual recordings and/or photographs of lessons being taught inyour child’s class. Although the recordings/photographs will show or involve students, the primary focus is on myinstruction, not on the students. In the course of this assessment, your child’s image and voice may be recorded onthe video, and your child may be photographed, with the recordings/photographs then submitted to the National Board. My submissions (the Submissions) will also include my written commentary sheets, instructional materials, essays, classroom plans, assignments, and commentary.
In addition, as part of the assessment, I may be asked to submit samples of student work (the Student Work) to demonstrate my teaching practices, which could include some of your child’s work. No students’ last names will appear on any materials or in any recordings that I submit as part of my assessment.
The National Board has broad rights to use my Submissions, and I assign to the National Board all of my rights in and to those Submissions. The National Board also obtains certain rights with respect to the Student Work that I submit. The National Board may use my Submissions and the Student Work, in its discretion, to further its mission of promoting excellence in education and teaching. For instance, in addition to uses related to my assessment by the National Board and any third-parties who assist in the assessment process, the National Board may post the Submissions and Student Work in a password-protected online database where they can be accessed by others for educational, research, and professional development purposes, and it may use the Submissions and Student Work in National Board works and publications. The National Board may receive fees from those to whom it grants access to the Submissions and Student Work. These uses may make my Submissions and the Student Work available for viewing by a broad range of individuals, educators, and students. Again, however, your child’s last name would notbe disclosed in the Submissions or the Student Work.
I am writing to request your permission for me to disclose to the National Board recordings and photographs that may include your child’s voice or image, to be used and disclosed by the National Board only in accordance withthe terms of this letter and the enclosed Student Release Form. By providing permission, you will also be granting the National Board a perpetual, irrevocable and royalty-free license to use any Student Work by your child that I submit as part of my assessment, and to have and to use any copyright, rights of publicity, and other rights associated with any Student Work, and you will be releasing the National Board from all claims (including invasion of privacy) in connection with its use of the Submissions or Student Work.
If you agree to your child’s participation in the activities as outlined above and the National Board’s right to usethe Submissions and Student Work in the manner described in this letter, please sign the enclosed Student Release Form. I will retain this form documenting your permission and may provide it to the National Board uponrequest. If you do not consent to your child’s participation, your child will be out of view in making the recordingsand photographs, and I will not include your child’s work in the Student Work I submit. Thank you very much.
