I could place all 50 states on the map then. Have forgotten a lot of the ones in the middle now. But I was surprised when I showed the map outline to an American exchange student who was in my maths class that year. She could not identify the state she was from (Iowa), although she did know California, Florida and Texas. 3/50 - I think that's a fail!Vireyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16464838238295059335noreply@blogger.com
