Use a grid system (latitude & longitude) to draw the Caribbean islands-
3 each day -try to remember the longitudes they are in
between, as well as the general land masses, like Florida,
Venezuela & larger islands. You will also draw South America
one time each day. So you will have
4 South America drawings too.
