Let's create a simple tour of the United States using Google Earth.

Follow these simple steps:

1. Fly to the capital of your assigned state.

2. Add a placemark on the capital. Don't forget to change the color of the push pin to match the color assigned to that region.

3. Name the placemark your state and add the following description: The capital of "your state goes here" is "capital goes here". "Name of state" is part of the "the state's region".

Example: The capital of Massachusetts is Boston. Massachusetts is part of the Northeast Region.
