The Student Guide provides a consumable workbook for basic information on the regions of the United States and then state-by-state (postal abbreviation, capital, nickname, and fun facts). There's also a solid geographical component as the student marks famous cities and landmarks on each state's map, as well as landform lessons. (You'll need a good set of colored pencils for these activities.) Memorization of the states/capitals/abbreviation is practiced and recited. Regional reviews are provided periodically, as well as regional quizzes and a final test.
Publisher's Description of States and Capitals History Student Study Guide
This study guide thoroughly teaches the states and capitals of the United States. Each page includes a state map and room to write the state’s capital, nickname, abbreviation, and fun facts. By the end of this year-long course, students will be able to label all 50 states on a U.S. map (with the capitals). Thorough teaching instructions are included, and the Teacher Manual includes tests. We recommend that this guide be used with Don’t Know Much About the 50 States.
This is one of the most straight-forward programs for covering this material thoroughly that I've seen. Using the book Don't Know Much About the 50 States as a reference, the Student Guide provides a consumable workbook for basic information on the regions of the United States and then state-by-state (postal abbreviation, capital, nickname, and fun facts). There's also a solid geographical component as the student marks famous cities and landmarks on each state's map, as well as landform lessons. (You'll need a good set of colored pencils for these activities.) Memorization of the states/capitals/abbreviation is practiced and recited. Regional reviews are provided periodically, as well as regional quizzes and a final test. The Teacher Guide provides some general teaching guidelines, student pages with answers, and the quizzes and final test (copies with and without answers). Lesson Plans, which are not included in the package, provide teaching guidelines plus a set of brief weekly checklists for 30 weeks' of lessons. This course does not include any Christian content. 84 pgs, student; 117 pgs, teacher; both pb. ~ Janice
