Okay click here for a game called "Can You Pass the 3rd Grade?" where you have a map of the continental states and you have to match their names to their state shapes. It's pretty fun.

It's hard to place some of the smaller NE states properly. I had a particularly hard time with Delaware. I usually do fairly well with identifying the states ny shape/location. The two that I always confuse are Vermont and New Hampshire - I can never remember which is which.

Vermont looks like a "V" (narrow bottom, wide top). Some of my students also say New Hampshire looks like a lower case "n", but that is a little more of a stretch.

My lil' bro always watched Animaniacs and he would sing that song endlessly. Thanks GC!

OK, I failed the test but only because I can't click and drag fast enough with this stupid touchpad mouse. I just took a bath so my fingers are all pruney and won't slide easily. I'm gonna do it again later.

Visually placing them is easier and I just need to remember three things:

1. Maine is the only state with one adjacent state and it is New Hampshire.
2. Connecticut is a suburb of New York.
3. People in Rhode Island sound more like people from Boston.

So that keeps Vermont and New Hampshire correctly sorted and Connecticut and Rhode Island sorted. This makes the placement of the also small Delaware easy by exclusion.

With 10 seconds to go I finally remembered Nevada(yeah, I know)

I forgot about Massachusetts

Now lets see if I can do Australia....

Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania, Quensland, Western, Northern...am I forgetting any?

Melbourne, Sydney, Hobart, Brisbane, Perth, and Darwin...I think.

No, Adelaide

JW: Not sure, I think New South Wales just had a better ring to it
