Imagine you're the governor of Arkansas. You want to attract more tourists to the state. How can you do that? (Work alone to decide, or brainstorm in groups of four or five. To brainstorm is to say or write down whatever pops into your head. A ground rule of brainstorming is that nobody can laugh or groan at anyone else's ideas.)

First, check out the map of Arkansas. Notice what kinds of landforms and what bodies of water the state has. Next, read the Arkansas Fact File. Then think about why tourists might like Arkansas. One attraction has been filled in for you.
