We will also cover general information about North America including its regions, neighboring countries, and its major landforms, mountains, and bodies of water (divided by east and west)   No prior knowledge is required.  Hand-outs will be emailed. Each handout with include the name of the state, an outline of the state, and space for completing the following: region, postal abbreviation, capital, nickname, state bird, state flower, and fun facts. A map of the United States and maps of the various regions will also be provided.

Each class will begin with a short greeting time and then we will proceed directly to the topic. Learners may need extra time before or after class to complete their handouts. I have a relaxed teaching style and there will be opportunities for questions during the class. I can also be reached by email. Learners will benefit most if they read over any material that they can find about the topic to be discussed that day prior to the class time. Answers will also be provided so that learners can have a written record to help them remember important details about the United States.
