Need a new way to have students to research South America? Put a little twist in the lesson. Have students play Tic-Tac-Toe while learning about South America.

This lesson will not only give students autonomy and choices in what they learn, but will also create a fun way to have students complete research on South American government, economics, geography, and culture.

Students will choose one question or activity from each Tic-Tac-Toe square to form a Tic-Tac-Toe horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. You may have students complete up to two Tic-Tac-Toe without answering the same question twice. If time is limited, you may shorten the lesson by having students complete only one Tic-Tac-Toe.

Students may work individually or with a partner to complete the research assignment.

This lesson includes:

°Suggestion for South America Introductory Videos

°Listening Activity

°South America Tic-Tac-Toe Activity

°Collaborative Closure Activity through Student Self-Assessment

°Suggested Instructor Assessment

°Reproducibles for graphic organizers required through assignment

°Teacher Assessment Guide/Key

Sample Questions:

°What is NAFTA? How has it affected the people of Mexico? Do you think NAFTA has been good or bad for the people in border cities of the United States? Explain your answer.

°Even before Europeans “discovered” the new world there were advanced civilizations in the Americas: Incas, Olmecs, Mayas, and Aztecs. List the cultural characteristics of each, what they are famous for, and how they still influence the world today.

° Create a Venn diagram comparing Central America and the West Indies.

° Create a stamp reflecting the blend of culture in Central America (Native American, African, and European)

° What challenges does Mexico face today as a result of its expanding population? Propose a solution to one of the challenges they face.

Note: This is a higher-level thinking activity that requires students to not only research the answers to the questions but compare and contrast, create, explain, etc.

Need a great activity for your South America study? These 24 task cards are a great way to both introduce the unit study or evaluate what students gained during the unit in a fun and interactive way. Not only is it fun, but it will get students moving around the room in an organized and timely manner, which will make the learning process fun and engaging.

Place these cards around the room and have students on a timed rotation. 24 pre-constructed task cards, a student answer sheet, and a teacher's key included. All you have to do, is print, cut, laminate if you wish, post in areas around the room, and let your students have fun learning. You may wish to provide atlases and resources at each station if your student's textbooks do not address these questions.

This is a great cooperative learning activity but can also be adapted to one student per card.
