You will make a picture of one of the eight geographic regions that has been assigned to you.  You will create a geotag for the location that states the name of the geographic region and will come up with at least five hashtags that describe the region.  The picture will be put on a half sheet piece of card stock paper or computer paper and presented during the next class period.
