Inhaltsangabe:

Build a strong foundation for a renewed commitment to learning geography with this handy title. Contains 50 individual state maps, including detail of major rivers, lakes, mountains, deserts and oceans, plus time zones and special topics, such as the Original Thirteen Colonies and States.

For each state, students will learn: Capital, land area, motto, nickname, admission date, state flower and bird. A map of United States appears with each state to indicate the state's relative position. Additional maps show the U.S. in relation to the continent of North America and the world. There is also a compass rose for each state map to help students answer questions related to directions.

Individual state map pages can be used in a number of ways:
* to Introduce information about the state and challenge student knowledge
* to Illustrate a report about the state.
* Use the small repeating map of the U.S. and the compass rose to ask questions about directions from one state to another, size of states in relation to one another and to identify bordering states
*Add additional information to the map -- cities, rivers, historical sites, state parks, mountain ranges, symbols of important crops or industries
* Enlarge an individual map using an overhead or opaque projector to add and examine details

There is also a reproducible Personal Geography page for students to fill in with information about their home town and state, and a complete answer key for your easy reference.

As you expand your students' knowledge of their own country, you can begin to relate the information to a study of a world map or globe. For additional help with teaching geography skills, consider these other quality Evan-Moor titles: Beginning Geography (273), Geography
Mini-Units (EMC 369), The World Blank Map Forms (EMC 281), and My State (EMC 555).
