Geographical term of the day: Peninsula
My kids typically do not have trouble with the concept of a peninsula. Since we do live in Michigan, they've heard the terms 'Upper Peninsula' and 'Lower Peninsula' most of their lives.
So when, in Social Studies, I ask them to find an example of a peninsula, there isn't usually a problem. Usually.
But there's always one. Or sometimes two. This year it was two. One who informed me that Oakland is a peninsula, another who told me Nevada is a peninsula.
Sigh.
