In class we learned how to draw the continents/countries from
memory, so you need to practice this week EVERY DAY! You cannot
learn by cramming the drawings at the end of the week. Do not
cheat yourself out of a good test grade by not studying a bit
every day.
Fun: Is it South America or Africa?
Assignments for the Week:
DRAW: Using the 4.1 map of Latin America and blank paper to
make 3 drawings of it EACH DAY! You will turn in 12 drawings to me
on Monday. Use the skills we talked about to memorize the shape of
the continent. You need to memorize it. Please write your name on each sheet!
