Exploring landforms in Reading

Students read informational text about four different landforms: mountains, islands, rivers and oceans.  They had to decide which one they would like to explore and were placed in groups with others who wish to explore the same one. Student shared what they thought they would see, smell, feel, and hear.  We then googled each of those and looked at several images to help students better understand a landform they may not be familiar with. Students then wrote about which landform they wanted to visit and why.
