Warm up exercise: do our online puzzle of United States and Capital Cities. How long does it take you?
Print any or all of the following seven (7) pages (start your printer at page 3)
The first time through (or pages 3 and 4 only) – use your maps as a reference – an ‘open book’ assignment.
The second time (or pages 5 and 1/2 6) through, see how many you already know by checking your work before finishing with an open book.
Third series/time (or pages 6 and 7) – all on your own. You can do this!
Finale: Redo the puzzle – did you cut at least 30 seconds off your time? Excellent! Now do it again just for the fun of it.
