What is it like to live in the different regions of the United States? How much do things cost compared to where you live? What do people do for fun?  Which cities or towns have the best schools, health care, transportation, etc? Where is crime the worst?

In the "Radical Regions" project, teams of students  play the role of families being relocated. They  use authentic information to evaluate a region of the United States. They develop skills in geography, research, technology use, writing, speaking, critical thinking, and working cooperatively. They collaborate with other students from all around the USA. Ultimately, they must decide where to settle in the region and must justify that conclusion based on facts. Conclusions are presented in PowerPoint or another multimedia tool.
