"<P>You hear the news stories:  too many American children fail basic " +
"geography tests.  With this dry-erase markerboard, your students " +
"won't become a statistic.  Geography becomes fun!  The interactive " +
"nature of this tool helps children retain facts because you aren't " +
"just pointing to a map and telling them the answer.</P>" +
"<P>The map is detailed enough to show smaller islands around the US " +
"(such as the Florida Keys and the Outer Banks of North Carolina).  " +
"It also shows the Great Lakes and the Great Salt Lake.</P>" +
"<P>Here are some sample geography and history exercises you and " +
"your students can do together using different color markers:</P>" +
"<UL><LI>Locate where you live</LI>" +
"<LI>If you have friends or relatives in other parts of the " +
"country, locate their home towns on the map</LI>" +
"<LI>Color and name the first 13 states</LI>" +
"<LI>Color and name your neighboring states</LI>" +
"<LI>Color and name all states that begin with the letter " +
"&quot;M&quot;</LI>" +
"<LI>Show the path of the Mississippi River</LI>" +
"<LI>Indicate which five states have the largest/smallest area in " +
"square miles</LI>" +
"<LI>Indicate which five states have the highest/lowest population</LI>" +
"<LI>Show the states won by each presidential candidate. (Research " +
"past elections, or use it in the next election.)</LI></UL>" +
"<P>Music teachers can use this board to teach the names of states " +
"and capitals with song!</P>" +
"<P>The possibilities are endless!</P>"
