Alabama History Diamantes

This week we began learning about our state to prepare for our year long investigation of the state of Alabama!

We began by creating a Diamanté Poem about Alabama. 

I gave each student an outline to follow in making their poem and we headed off to the computer lab to find the answers. 

Line 1:  The name of our state
Line 2:  Two animals that are native to our state
Line 3:  Three cities in Alabama
Line 4:  Four agricultural products of Akabama
Line 5:  Three birds in Alabama
Line 6:  The state insect and the state bird
Line 7:  Fill in the blank:  Alabama is known as the _______ state. 

Once they had collected all of their information they transferred it onto a per-made diamanté diamond template. 




Then, they cute it out and glued it onto construction paper. 

Finally, they trimmed the construction paper leaving only a small border/outline. 


Now they are displayed in the hall for everyone to read!
