Generate some enthusiasm for local history! Interest students in researching their own environment by focusing their attention on town and road names. It's lots of fun if the names are a little weird!
This one page prompt includes:
- An interesting example of the history of the name of a New York Mountain range
- Directions for students to describe their location verbally and visually, research and write about its history, identify specific places in their town and present backstories, photos, and observations of each.
- A simple rubric for evaluation of student submissions. (This is an open-ended activity. There is no "right answer".)
