Teacher Tips:
1. Copy the above map (page 2) and graphic organizer (page 1 )templates front to back
onto a 8½ x 11” piece of paper. White or colored copy paper may be used.
2. Have students label the map with the states that border Virginia and the bodies of water
that also border Virginia. Due to limited space, teachers may choose to have students
label the map with state initials rather than having them write the whole state name: MD,
WV, KY, TN, NC.
3. Have students list the bordering states and bodies of water in the table on the inside of
the foldable. You may want to refer to a mnemonic device, such as:
Mustard
With
Ketchup
Tastes
Nasty
Maryland
West Virginia
Kentucky
Tennessee
North Carolina
Include details about the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean
from page 2 and 4 of the 2008 Curriculum Framework.
