Photo Challenge!

I love to travel and take photos; I think that photography is a great creative outlet. How many places have you visited in the United States?

In one of my previous articles you can see the states that I have visited. For this challenge see if you can name each state and location. Try to be specific. Hint...I may have used some states more than once. The photos are in number order; see if you can guess all ten places!

Whoever guesses the most correctly will earn three group points. Post your response as a comment. If you are not in one of my classes (class password is herricks)....you will earn my respect...plus it’s fun so give it a try!


 



1)You wouldn't want to be sent here.

2)Very reliable...
2

3)Do you really need a hint?

4)A curvy street.

5)One of the first national parks.

6)Named after part of a volcano (well it actually is a part of one!)

7)Surfs up!

8)No help needed here!

these are some pretty pictures! I agree that the whole picture taking is a way to create art. It’s very pretty. I know that one of those pictures is of a geyser, but that's about it.

I've been a ClassBlogmeister user for years, but never have used the assignment feature. Our Grade 5 blog received a comment from one of your students participating in the Communication Challenge. I love the idea. Do you mind if I copy that idea and assign it over our Winter Break? If you don't mind, could you please tell me how to actually make an assignment. I can't seem to find the right place.

Thanks. Barbara Bashour

Hope your Thanksgiving was a pleasant one. (We had to go to a Professional Development day on Friday!)

Nice blog, Mr. Ullrich. Now that I think of it, I've been inspired to make my own challenge: "Guess The Planet You're Looking At" challenge, since we're learning astronomy.
P.S.It's going to be on my blog, so please let everyone know about the challenge.
P.P.S. You can participate too if you want, Mr. Ullirch.
