US Geography:How much do you know?

Recently in an IB History class at Gresham High School,the students were asked to draw a map of the United States and label the states and capitals. Hardly any student could accomplish this. The teacher then set up the challenge of having a quiz over the states and capitals in the class on the last day before the winter holiday. In a flurry of activity,the IB student’s were off to memorize the states and capitals. Many students were in competition to see who could learn them all the fastest. They would test each other by walking into classrooms to saying a state and expecting the capital in return. Either the responding student burst into flames due to the amount of concentration it took to retrieve the capital or they would say the capital with so much confidence that you would expect them to explode. Many students used the tool that is Sheppard’s Software to study. So how much do you know?
