**Wisconsin Road Trip ** ===== A Social Studies Webquest created for fourth grade students. In this WebQuest, the students can use their knowledge of the regions, locate major cities, and will have an opportunity to create a product to display their learning. __**Standards Addressed**__ Standard A: Geography A-3.4 Use maps, charts, and graphs to gather information about Wisconsin.
 * //A-1.4 Identify Wisconsin’s location and capitol on a blank map. //**

From the **knowledge ** spectrum, the children will identify the regions, select the city within the appropriate region, and collect data regarding their selection. In terms of **comprehension ** the regions are compared, the children interpret the information regarding their chosen city, and group the results of their investigations. Finally, **affective domain ** is touched during the evaluation portion of the project as the children judge the quality of their work.
