Students fix region mix-ups and lock in early geography vocabulary. Part A rewrites sentences that put Alaska in the Southeast, hand the Midwest's job to the Southwest's deserts, and call the Rio Grande a lake instead of a river. Part B fills in the smallest region by land area (Northeast), the term natural resources, and the word islands for Hawaii. Part C decides true-or-false statements about Southwest winters, Midwest corn and wheat, and the US-Mexico border.
Pinning states and landforms to the right region early on prevents the mental-map mistakes that trip third graders up all year.
