Regions of the United States: Northeast, Complete Unit (5 Regions)

Your students will enjoy reading this complex informational text about the Northeast region, home of the largest city, the smallest state, and our nation's capital. Find out what makes the Northeast an interesting and unique region.

This unit includes printable options only. If you would like a digital option using Google Drive, check out my Northeast Region Digital Only for Distance Learning with a Google Slides version of the reading text and questions, and a self-grading Google Forms version of the unit test, or get the bundle with both printable and digital options.

Each region includes a 6-page informational text packet that can be used as a "textbook chapter" when teaching about the region. While reading the complex text, your students will learn about the land, water, climate, products, natural resources, landmarks, and culture of the region. The informational text includes an Anticipation Guide with questions to be used as they read the text to guide their reading. Each region also includes a study guide to help them learn to label the states on a map, a 30 question quiz, and a fun "scrapbook" activity with a grading rubric. Study guides and tests now also include an optional page for the state capitals and the state abbreviations.
