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:
Reúna todos os livros, artigos e fontes digitais sobre Novo México antes de começar o projeto. Isso facilita o acesso à informação pelos estudantes e mantém o processo de pesquisa organizado e focado.
Modele como anotar notas curtas e significativas em vez de copiar frases inteiras. Enfatize palavras-chave e ideias principais para que os estudantes possam resumir os fatos com suas próprias palavras para cada célula da web.
Incentive os estudantes a esboçar sua teia de 6 células em papel avulso primeiro. Permita que planejem onde cada fato ou ilustração ficará, facilitando a organização dos pensamentos antes de passar para o modelo final.
Mostre aos estudantes como desenhar ou encontrar imagens que representem cada fato, como a ave do estado ou cidades famosas. Discuta como as imagens ajudam a tornar a teia mais envolvente e memorável.
Conduza uma verificação rápida de fatos corretos e resumos claros. Incentive os estudantes a corrigir a prova e garantir que cada célula esteja completa antes de entregar o trabalho.
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.
