Directions:Date:Use the clues to find out which of the fifty states is being described. You may also
check an atlas for extra help.- The Golden State is really beautiful. I am looking out of my hotel window at the
largest suspension bridge in the world. Tomorrow I will travel south to stargaze at all
the famous people. Then I will go south of the border to visit a Spanish-speaking
country. - Today I went for a swim in a great salt lake. The Sundance Film Festival is being
held nearby. In the winter this state has many great places to ski and snowboard, such
as Park City and Deer Valley. - Aloha! As I arrived in this island paradise, I was presented with a beautiful flower
lei. These islands are warm and humid, and have many beautiful beaches with large
waves perfect for surfing. This state is the most recent addition to the United States of
America. - Howdy, partner! I am visiting the Lone Star State. Everything is bigger here. I’ve seen
many cowboys and large herds of cattle, as well as lots of oil wells. The men all wear
big hats and everyone loves to squaredance and listen to country music. - Here I am in America’s last great wilderness. This is a good state to visit in the
summer because the days last forever, and there’s a lot to see and do. Tomorrow we are
going to pan for gold and then go salmon fishing in the river. During the winter
everyone stays indoors a lot because it is very cold and the days are extremely short. - I am in a taxi in the Big Apple on my way to see some Broadway shows. Most
people use the subway to travel in this city. This city was originally called New
Amsterdam, but now it has the same name as the state where it’s located. - Today I am relaxing on a beautiful white sand beach, while enjoying a large glass of
fresh orange juice, both of which this state is famous for. Tomorrow I will explore the
Everglades, and then go to visit the oldest city in America. - Greetings from a New England state that shares borders with Massachusetts, Maine,
and Vermont. The leaves, wearing their fall colors of red and gold, are beautiful here.
While visiting the state capital, Concord, I learned that the state motto is Live Free or Die. - Wow! Mt. Rushmore is really impressive. Some of the Indian tribes that live here
include the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota, which make up the Sioux Indian Nation. - Here I am on a riverboat, heading toward the Gulf of Mexico. This mighty river has
the same name as the state it borders. The fishing is great. Wish you were here.
