Each State Regional Section opens with an introduction and mapping assignments.

Students make a map key and create a map with landforms, the capital of each state, and the name of each state.
After the introduction to the region, we learn about each state! 4 pages are devoted to every state and inhabited territory.

Highlights from each state. We can't see everything in each state; instead we visit a few landmarks special places, and fun spots. The reader and the author (me!) visit beaches, museums, presidential homes, caves, ghost towns, and gardens at various times.
