Allow the students to let the paper mache dry and paint the model they created of their region. Allow the students to let the paper mache dry and paint the model they created of their region. The students could conduct some research about their region and write a short informational text. Then you could display the models and informational text as a bulletin board.

Provide the students with the opportunity to explore the landforms and bodies of water in their community by conducting a similar task with your local county or city map. They could do this as project at home to involve their families.
