Refer to notes on TE45, Draw attention to the last paragraph and ask the students toexplain why they think a large number Southerners work for the U,S, Government.

Think Aloud- I know that people tend to live where they work. Virginia is very close toWashington D.C. the capital of the United States. It is the place where the countrys

central government is located. I also know that many of the space programs located

in Texas and Florida. Thats why so many Southerners work for the U.S. Government.
