    Students will create a geography book about the United States that includes several map sections and a live and work section. The map sections will focus on political maps, physical features, natural resources, and population density, with students creating the maps and writing summaries. In the live and work section, students must choose a state other than in the Midwest to live and work in, basing their decision on the physical geography, available resources or jobs, and population density, and write a five paragraph summary explaining their choice.
