1. List the states: Make a list of all 50 states.
2. Identify consonant-beginning states: Go through the list and circle the states that start with a consonant.
3. Identify consonant-ending states: Circle the states that end with a consonant.
4. Find the overlap: Look for the states that are circled twice (both beginning and ending with a consonant).
