 * Welcome to Virginia and the Southeastern Region of the United States!**

We will be learning about the different regions of Virginia this year in fourth grade. The physical features (or geography) make a difference in it's economy (how people make a living) and have influenced it's history and eventually the history of the United States.



When you have finished this unit, you will be able to locate and describe the regions of Virginia on a map, as well as discuss how the geography of our state influences our way of life. Before you begin, introduce yourself on the Discussion tab. Tell us what city you live in and why you think your parents chose to live there. Tell us about your class at school and what you think you will be learning in Social Studies this year and what type of project you might want to make as a final assessment.

When you have finished that activity you can get started by viewing the video clip on the next page which is labeled "Welcome to the Southeast Region."
