The InTime Video I chose

The video that I found that I felt could be used in my Civics class is a state power point presentation.  Here is the link of the video: http://www.intime.uni.edu/video/030moue/8/  .  I typically set some time in my year to discuss the different states and the different types of state government.  Many of  my 9th grade LD students are still very unaware of what other states besides Wisconsin offer or how their government is set up.  This project would give them a great opportunity to investigate a state they have never traveled too and gather interesting facts about the population, geography, demographics and government in a different state.  I already do something similar to this regarding the United States presidents, so if I set up this project a little later in the year, students will have a sense of how to put the project together and how to make the slides visually appealing and interesting.  My students study state government in late April and May, so I will be looking to implement this project sometime during that time frame.
