North Dakota had a great role in westward expansion, agricultural development and becoming a part of America’s “Great Plains breadbasket.” It was home to many Native American nations and connected the Midwest to the western territories. With its beautiful prairies, hills and badlands and well-known as the 'American West', North Dakota is a great place to live and visit.

With this activity, students will learn this and more about the state of North Dakota, including its state symbols, state quarter, geography, government and more. They will answer 40 questions about the state, including coloring in the state flag and labeling a provided map of the state. These questions span a total of five pages.

Then, students will use what they learned in their research to create a poster about the state. There is a provided rubric that you may pass out to students for this poster, which outlines what to include and how to make the poster. (This make the student packet a total of six pages).
