Does this sound okay? I dont have a closing hook yet! And Mr. Buxton i know Farming is big in Tennessee but when i go on Wikepedia theres nothing about farming. Do you have any suggestions for where to go?~~~~~~~~~~Geographical Features
Bekah Summa Number: 23#
Peering inquistly down at a topography map the taste of morning farmland and endless terrains seem to jump off the page. Inside Tennessee cool rivers, tall mountains, and a farming climate, creates a perfect combination of picturesque geography. The state of Tennessee may not have the beaches of California, and crowded cities of New York, but the state does have 187,000 acres of mountains and a unique settlement to claim its name. Tennessee lies in between eight borderline states. Kentucky sits on the North side while North Carolina and Mississippi connect to the South and Missouri and Arkansas on top of the West. Alternatively, inside Tennessee mountain ranges cover the east although Skyscraping Mountains such as Chilhowie, Snowbird and the Smoky Mountains take over the west. Plains in the West include the Gulf Coastal Plain, which has low valleys and flat land. The diverse land and location of Tennessee will truly bring anyone into the state. Not only does the long landscape of Tennessee catch the eyes of the beholder, but also it has an interesting terrain. Stated before, a rugged terrain is kept in Tennessee. Therefore, plains like the Gulf Coastal extend through eight states with just a small impacted piece in Tennessee. Also picturesque mountain ranges stand tall in the state; never less, claiming the 187,00 acres of the Smokies Tennessee’s own. Both latter and former play a huge roll in Tennessee and without impacts would occur. Stating so, caves also play a roll in Tennessee. Not only do 8,350 caves cover Tennessee, but caves such as Cumberland can lie between cities. Furthermore, most every piece of terrain and mountains has importance to Tennessee.
Endless roaring reckless, rivers wined through Tennessee waiting to flow into the Atlantic. Rivers and lakes in Tennessee include Mississippi, the states longest river, Cumberland River and Kentucky Lake which borders Kentucky. Natural lakes don’t occur often in Tennessee, but Reel foot is an impressive one. 1811 and 1812 earthquakes caused a ditch from which water flowed from the Mississippi into where the lake is now held. Like wise, because natural lakes don’t occur often in Tennessee, dam made ones have occurred doubling the size of inland water. Other artificial lakes in Tennessee include Boone, Cherokee, Chickamauga, Douglas, Fort London, Fort Patrick Henry, Morris, Pickwick, Tellico, and Watonga. All are nicknamed the “Great Lakes of the South”.
Farm friendly climate is just as important to Tennessee as cities are to New York. Tennessee has a simple cool climate. Typically, Tennessee’s winters make anyone chilly, and summer just the opposite, yet the weather changes depending on how the terrain is. The Gulf Coastal Plain is one of the warmest parts in Tennessee along with the Central Basin and Sequatice Valley; hence, the highest temperature ever record was 130 degrees Fahrenheit in 1930. Typically, 50 rainfalls occur every year in Tennessee especially early spring, while the driest month occurs as September. Because of the diverse weather crops only grow for about 225 days time. From a farming and Tennessean aspect both climate and temperature can make a difference to everybody.
In conclusion, Tennesse has The Gulf Coastal Plain, The Smoky Mountains, and a rainy climate all of which make the state unique and special.
So is our only science HW for the Graham class to start our moon phases coo die catcher thing?
Thanks,

yes, Kennedy you are correct
Bekah,
I enjoyed your peice of writing. I liked the hook and the topic sentence. Good use of words!
Thank you Catie

To watch the sun disappear under the sugar maple, the state tree, while a Brook Trout, state fish, hops out of the water near the famous wood covered bridge is a spectacle for all to see. Mother Earth does not care that it is spring, so little flakes drift down from the sky forming a white blanket of snow on the ground. Even though Vermont cannot boast about the skyline of New York or the seemingly endless plains of South Dakota, ‘the green mountain state’ can boast about their varied geographical features.
Bordering New York, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, VT is nestled in the heart of the northeast as well as New England. Additionally, an old Vermonter quote said,” Summer is short around here. Last year it was on a Thursday.” Because ‘The Montpellier State’ lies at the northern tip of United States its temperature is colder so summer lasts a very short time. Lake Champlain and the Connecticut River separate ‘the green mountain state’ from New York and New Hampshire respectively. In addition, Québec, a Canadian province, borders Vermont, and Samuel De Champlain founded Québec and ‘Freedom and Unity State’.
A vast amount of rivers, lakes, and ponds run trough Vermont in all different sizes and depths. Lake Champlain, the lowest spot in this state, located in the northern tip, just 30 miles away from Mount Mansfield, the largest mountain in Vermont. Additionally, the Otter River, the longest river in its state, flows from Lake Champlain to the center of the state where it flows to a stop at the beginning of Green Mountains. Not only does the Connecticut River run 407 miles through the ‘Freedom and Unity State’, but also it pours about 19,600 cubic feet of water into the Plymouth Sound per second which is the beginning of the Atlantic Ocean. Lake Memphremagog has 20 islands on it, and three tributaries, rivers that flow in to it, the Black, the Clyde, and the Barton River. Lake Memphremagog lies 104 miles east from Lake Champlain.
To visit Vermont is to see its vast and varied terrain. The green Mountains run from the Southwest corner to the northern part of the state, scraping through all 3 regions, where Mount Mansfield towers in the sky 4,302 feet above Lake Champlain. Surprisingly, over 80% of ‘the green mountain state’ is forests, and the other 20% is evenly split between grazing land and farmland. Not only does the ‘Green Mountain State’ consist of heavily wooded woods, but also the woods hold many animals such as black bears, deer, and moose.
From the towering Mount Mansfield, to the vast Lake Champlain, and by being in New England Vermont is an exceptional place for all to see. As the sun raises over the Sugar Maple the state bird, the Hermit Trush, chirps from atop the wind vain above the wood covered bridge, waking up all the wildlife around the area.
Wyatt first thing i noticed about your writing was it was well descripitive, but you dont introduce the state until the first power 2. I would change that
thanks for the Feedback Bekah
thanks for the feedback
Mr buxton,
There is something wrong with my printer could I print it in school.
The printer is out of ink. The work is saved on my USB and on google docs.
this is my geo featurs
As the Western Meadowlark, the Kansas state bird, flaps its chocolate brown and crisp white wings, it gracefully soars over Topeka, the capital of “The Sunflower State”. Kansas is a state of flat plains with fertile soil, the populated cities, and picturesque lakes and rivers that snake through this state. Nearly 90% of Kansas land is dedicated to farming and agriculture. Firstly, the farmland, divided into 3 sub-regions, The Dissected Till Plains of the Northeast, the Southeastern Plains, and the Great Plains that cover the west, is mostly flat, fertile land. In The Dissected Till Plains and the Southeastern Plains, most of the highly populated cities stand. In the west, the Great Plains grow a cornucopia of wheat and other plants like soybeans and barley. Bordered by Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri, and Oklahoma on the north, west, east, and south sides respectively, Kansas sits in the middle of North America. Because “The Sunflower State” is located in the “Heart of the USA,” Mexican, American, and Canadian governments use Osborne County, Kansas as a starting point for map-making. From the lowest point, the alluvial prairies, rising up to the highest point, the high plains, has a height differential of 3,000 ft.
Even though most of Kansas land is for farms, it still has a plethora of lakes and rivers generating the agricultural success. Swirling down the north eastern border of Kansas, the Missouri River is a huge trade center for the wheat and corn production of the Great Plains. For Example, Over 50+ rivers and 25+ lakes ensconce in Kansas. Also, because so much water covers the state, Kansans, people who are from Kansas, debate over who gets to use the most. In the fall and spring, Cheyenne Bottoms, the biggest lake in Kansas, attracts endangered animals such as the peregine falcon to a huge feast. Two other main rivers are the Missouri River, used for trading goods from different places, and the Arkansas River, which makes a huge curl through the south of Kansas. At the tip of this curve is the highly populated city called the Great Bend.
Kansas might not have the hustle and bustle of NYC or the crowds of the Chicago O’Hare, but it still has some very highly populated areas. The four biggest cities in Kansas are Wichita, Kansas City, Lawrence, and Topeka, the capital. In fact, these cities are so populated that only 10% of job offers are stationed out on farms and ranches in the west. Wichita, the biggest city in Kansas, is famous for the manufacturing of Airplanes. So many planes are made here that Wichita is known as “The Air Capital of the World.” Kansas City, sitting on the border of Missouri and Kansas, contains the most wishing fountains in the world. From the manufacturing of airplanes, to the wheat production in the Great Plains, and the fighting of water, Kansas has various landforms. The Western Meadowlark slowly lands in its nest in the Cottonwood Tree, the Kansas state tree, before the sun goes to sleep.
good bennett, but your hook is kinda like the mentor text hook.
I like the presise facts Bennett. Good Job
