How many state capital names do they recall from the day before? Once they have filled in as many state capital names as they can, they might use atlases, wall maps, and any other resources to complete the task. The next day, challenge student pairs (the same pairs as yesterday, if you see fit) to write the names of each states capital on one of the maps below. Have students work together in pairs to make a list of each state name and the name of that states capital. Use these maps (with capital names and locations identified) to help students become familiar with and learn the names and locations of the state capitals: outline maps that have on them the names of each states capital. Provide each pair of students with one of these printable U.S.
