• I use this file to help my students review for the CRCT geography standards.

• First, we go over the maps as a class and the students take turns pointing out the locations. (I have a pointer that they LOVE to use-it’s the little things…)

• Next, I print off all of the pages and have the students make a packet. They have to label all of the features (without looking at notes, atlases, etc.) and then we check the answers in class by going over the Answer Key maps together. (You can take this as a quiz/test grade if you’d like.)

• By this point, the students are more than ready for the geography-location questions on the CRCT!

• *I have included an Answer Key after each blank map so that you can check the answers together.
