Largest and smallest
Olancho is the largest department and Gracias a Dios the second. The Bay Islands, a department made of islands, are the smallest, so they carry a ring. Valle and Choluteca give Honduras its short Pacific coast on the Gulf of Fonseca, and La Ceiba is the capital of Atlántida on the Caribbean.
Tegucigalpa, the capital, is in Francisco Morazán. Ask students to find it before the rest.
