ASSIGNMENT — CREATING REGIONS
In our earlier discussion of perceptual regions, I asked you to identify which states of the U.S. belong
in a region we call ‘The South.’ Once you have completed this task, and have decided which states
are in the region of ‘The South’ and which states are not part of the region of ‘The South’, please
answer the following questions:
Why do you consider some of the states you chose to be part of a region of ‘The South’, and why did
you exclude others?
What is it that makes the region you created ‘The South’?
What criteria do the states you chose share or not share?
What did you decide about Florida, Virginia, and Texas? Are they part of the South? Why or Why
Not?
Thinking about Florida, Virginia, and Texas, is it possible for regional boundaries to divide states
rather than following state boundaries? Explain the reason(s) for your answer.
