Friday, August 11th


Do Now:
What information can we get from maps? Are there different kinds of maps? If so, what types of maps have you seen or used and what information did they provide you?

In class today we:
-Reviewed landforms with North America outline map
-Discussed different types of maps
- Discussed reference information on maps; key, scale, compass rose

Homework due Tuesday:
- Worksheet #1 on landforms (handout section of notebook)
- Worksheet #2 on mountains (answer questions on binder paper and store in homework section)
- Draw a map of your choice (I suggest you pick something small and manageable)
Your map must include the following
1. Title
2. Key that includes everything on your map
3. Scale; accurate scale of the space that you choose to map ( 1:5 cm/m)
4. Compass rose - orient your map as accurately as you can, remember the ocean and mountains are good reference points
