Great job this week. Students did very well on their first quiz. We now have knowledge in the 5 mapping basics: title, direction, scale and distance, legend, location. Some students are still a little confused when it come to finding places using longitude and latitude, however, with a little more practice, things will be fine.
We are now putting our knowledge into practice by making our own fantasy maps. Students have been asked to create their own maps using the 5 mapping basics. In addition, students need cities, including a Capital, which should be clearly labeled in their legend. There should be a compass rose, borders and water features. In conjunction with the inclusion of the mapping basics, students will be marked on neatness and accuracy.
We will wrap up our Geography Unit this week and transition into writing great paragraphs. We will have a Geography test on Thursday.
