States.

2) Once the students start to become familiar with the material (after 3-4 days),
I will assign each student a partner and have them work together to complete
the assignment. The students will go to Seterra.com to use virtual map
quizzes to study and practice the specific locations in the United States
and/or the World from standard 2.6. They will first complete two map quizzes
already made on the website, one under the U.S. tab and one under the
World tab. These are the two quizzes to complete: The U.S.< The Contiguous
U.S.: Rivers & World< World: Continents and Oceans (Cartoon Version).
Once they complete these two quizzes, they will then create their own quiz,
still working with a partner.

3) The students will choose ONE of the two quizzes they already completed, and
on that screen, select create custom quiz. They will then select the locations
they want to include in their quiz (including at least 6 from the list of options),
give the quiz a title and then select create quiz.

4) The student will then click play quiz, and try out what they just created. Their
score will pop up at the end of the quiz to show them how they did, and also
how long it took them to complete. They may play as many times as they like,
and if they have time remaining, they may go to the second original quiz they
took (either U.S. or World), and create a second quiz to play, making sure the
two quizzes they create are different and not including the same locations.

5) During this time, the teacher will be walking around observing the quizzes
being made and assisting students if they need help. Also, telling students to
raise their hands to show the teacher their scores when completed.
