Class Overview
This class guides middle school and high school students through a comprehensive study of the U.S.A. We’ll improve our mapping skills as we learn about the states and their geographic features. As we cover each region of the nation, the students will be presenting reports on what they find interesting.
Atlases will be purchased by the teacher and handed out in class, as well as all required maps, handouts, and pocket dividers. These are covered by the “$50 materials fee,” which will be collected on the first day of class.
Other than the class materials listed below, no other purchase is necessary.

Class Materials
1 and 1/2 inch three-ring notebook with tabbed dividers and paper.
A zipped plastic holder or container for the following individual items:
- One or two #4 hard pencils (2H, 3H, 5H or 6H are okay)
- One or two black razor-point pens (needed for thin fine lines in black ink)
- Three or 4 razor-point pens in other colors for labeling (red, blue and green).
The key to whether a pen is good to use is how much it “bleeds” when touched to the paper. We need marker/pens that do not bleed much at all. - An excellent eraser – Art Gum or similar, that leaves no residue
- A set of colored pencils (and sharpener)
- White-out pain on liquid – quick dry kind (no tape or pens)
Once registered, students will receive a Google Classroom sign-in.
