elcome to our Georgia! You may be a native Georgian. Or

you may have arrived here from Mexico, Vietnam, India,

Japan, Korea, or other nations and U.S. states. We are

glad you are here and hope you enjoy learning more about

your home.

Unit 1: Our Special State
1

     In the two chapters of this unit, you will learn about our geographic

regions, our climate, our waterways, and other natural resources of

the state. You will also read about the many plants and animals you

can see as you walk around your neighborhood, visit a public park, or

travel on Georgia’s back roads.

     A special feature in this unit takes you on a visual trip to

“Georgia’s Wonders,” seven unique places in our state that are the result

of nature, time, and geography. But before we begin studying about the

state we call home, let us look at what geography means.

Geography affects where people live and how they make a living. In the Blue
Ridge region, most farms (left) are small. The geography of central and
southern Georgia is good for growing peaches (above).
