Region: How can Earth be divided into regions for study? Regions can be defined by a
number of characteristics including area, language, political divisions, religions, and
vegetation (for example, grassland, marshland, desert, rain forest).
•G.1.6.6 Analyze a map of the fifty states and identify regions (e.g., Northeast, Southeast,
Midwest, Southwest, West)
•G.1.6.2 Examine the location, place, and region of Arkansas and determine the
characteristics of each
Place: What makes a place different from other places? Differences might be defined in
terms of climate, physical features, or the people who live there and their traditions.
•G.1.6.9Compare the location of specific places on both maps and globes (map packet)

Arkansas River, Colorado River, Mississippi River, Ohio River, St. Lawrence River
