Objective: Create a 3 cell storyboard that describes and illustrates 3 interesting facts about Kansas.
Student Instructions:
Adapt the storyboard instructions to suit students with different learning needs by offering options for written summaries, oral presentations, or digital drawings. Provide sentence starters or visual supports for students who need extra help, and encourage advanced students to research additional Kansas facts or create extra storyboard cells. This ensures every learner can participate and succeed!
Show students how to use kid-friendly websites, books, or library databases to find accurate and interesting Kansas facts. Demonstrate searching with keywords and checking multiple sources to confirm information. This helps students develop critical research skills for future projects.
Encourage students to brainstorm ways to visually represent each fun fact about Kansas. Provide examples of simple drawings or use digital tools for students who prefer working on computers. Remind them that creativity and effort matter more than artistic skill!
Arrange students’ storyboards around the classroom and invite everyone to walk around and view each other's work. Prompt students to leave positive comments or questions on sticky notes. This builds class community and helps students appreciate different perspectives.
Kansas is full of interesting facts for kids! It’s known as part of Tornado Alley, the home of Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, and the birthplace of the first Pizza Hut. Kansas also leads the U.S. in wheat production and 88% of the state is farmland.
One creative way is to have students make a 3 cell storyboard. Each cell can feature a different Kansas fact, a summary, and a custom illustration. This activity helps students remember facts through writing and art.
Create a storyboard with three cells: write a Kansas fun fact in each heading, add a short summary below, and draw a scene that matches the fact. This makes learning about Kansas both fun and visual.
Kansas is called Tornado Alley because it sits in a central U.S. region where tornadoes happen often. The flat land and climate make it a hotspot for frequent and severe tornadoes.
Kansas is the birthplace of the first Pizza Hut (Wichita, 1958), and the graham cracker was named after a Kansas preacher. These fun facts show Kansas’s unique contributions!
