//A brief snapshot, as if someone asked you to briefly and clearly describe the intent of the lesson or project.// ||  ||   ||< What does it mean to be an Arizonan? To answer this question, we will need to explore the history and geography of this great state. Through this project, students will have the opportunity to understand the importance of Arizona landmarks by researching and collaborating together in small groups. The result of the project will be a student-created digital video that will show their understanding and appreciation of Arizona’s beautiful landscape. ||<  ||   ||   || //What will guide student inquiry?// ||  ||   ||< ► What are Arizona’s major landmarks? ► Why are they important to the people that live here? ► What are the characteristics of these places? ► How do these places help us understand Arizona’s identity? || //Include technology.
