Webs are an excellent tool to help students organize facts in a systematic and visual manner. Students will research New Mexico and use the blank template provided to show what they have learned. They will then create a 6 cell web that includes the state motto, flower, tree, and bird, capital and other major cities, a famous citizen, date of statehood, nickname, and an interesting tourist spot for New Mexico. This activity could be used as part of a Regions of the United States unit, or as part of an informational research unit.

Objective: Create a 6 cell web that includes the state motto, flower, tree, and bird, capital and other major cities, a famous citizen, date of statehood, nickname, and an interesting tourist spot for New Mexico.
Student Instructions:
Prikupite sve knjige, članke i digitalne izvore o Novom Meksiku prije nego što započnete s projektom. To će olakšati studentima pristup informacijama i održavati istraživački proces organiziranim i fokusiranim.
Modelirajte kako zabilježiti kratke, smisleno bilješke umjesto kopiranja cijelih rečenica. Naglasite ključne riječi i glavne ideje, tako da studenti mogu sažeti činjenice vlastitim riječima za svaku web ćeliju.
Potaknite učenike da skiciraju svoju 6-ćelijsku mrežu na odbačenom papiru. Neka planiraju gdje će ići svaka činjenica ili ilustracija, što će im olakšati organizaciju misli prije prelaska na završni obrazac.
Pokažite učenicima kako nacrtati ili pronaći slike koje predstavljaju svaku činjenicu, poput državnog ptice ili poznatih gradova. Raspravite o tome kako vizuali pomažu učiniti njihovu mrežu zanimljivijom i zapamtljivijom.
Vodite brzu provjeru za točne činjenice i jasne sažetke. Potaknite učenike da pregledaju i isprave kako bi bili sigurni da je svaka ćelija potpuna prije predaje rada.
A 6 cell web activity is a visual organizer where students research key facts about New Mexico—like the state motto, flower, tree, bird, capital cities, famous citizens, date of statehood, nickname, and tourist spots—and present them in six connected sections for easy understanding.
To create a spider map, have students write "New Mexico" in the center, then draw six branches for categories like cities, state symbols, famous people, history, nickname, and tourist spots. Add illustrations and short summaries for each branch to organize research visually.
Students should include the state motto, flower, tree, bird, capital and major cities, a famous citizen, date of statehood, nickname, and an interesting tourist spot to create a complete research web about New Mexico.
Webs or spider maps help students organize information visually, making it easier to connect facts and remember details about New Mexico. They're especially effective for grades 3–6 because they support both research and creative thinking skills.
The best way is to assign each student or group a state, have them complete the New Mexico web activity, then present their findings. This encourages comparison between states and reinforces regional differences and similarities in the United States.
