  4. Poetry “Imagine the Amazon” The river’s chocolate water hints of muddy silt below, a rich broth of leaves and limbs, aboulderless stew far from distant mountains. Vine-tangled trees shove each other toward the edge with more behind, so many they test the artist’s imagination. Brilliant birds fleck the forest like paintballs explosions, the poorest clay bank wears pins of dragonfly wings. The sky is a vain peacock, a spoiled brat throwing tantrums of thunderbolts and grumbling, a painter who leaves his colors out to run and swear in the rain. Unless you get the sky right, it’ll never be the Amazon. --David L. Harrison “Face of the Amazon” She stands beside the path, stopped, leaning on a crooked cane, resting there to catch her breath, watching children play. She nods and smiles as if on that spot, once she was the one chased. Her face, mahogany finely carved, deeply grained, polished hard by sun and rain, a portrait of the Amazon. After other memories fade, her human face remains, any woman anywhere, Watching children play. --David L. Harrison

Use what you know and reference materials such as the map, atlas, or an almanac to find the answers. Record your answers on the worksheet. Check your answers using the answer key. You may want to mark your answers on the map. Tasks: Study the physical map of South America, then complete the listings of mountains, rivers, and land regions below. Fill in the blank physical features (large bodies of water) on the map. Label some other physical features (Humboldt Current, Straits of Magellan, and Falkland Islands) on the map. Color the map to distinguish between mountains, rivers, land regions, and surrounding water.
