Here is a link to the Mapping The World By Heart final
student map files. Click on each one to see an example
of what you can accomplish this semester!
(Please date and number the maps)
Draw one world map from MEMORY EACH DAY, using the 17" x 22" papers I gave you.
See what my class accomplished in 2009!
What to use for homework & bring to the final:
Sharpened pencils, fine-tip pen to label, color pencils & CONFIDENCE!
You will do great! I will supply the poster board with grids on it.
Final poster board size will be 14 X 22. (not 17 X 22)
Extra Credit:
labeling 50 states
labeling any other country
Labeling the provinces of Australia or Canada
any seas, bays, lakes, rivers
Labeling the countries of Oceania
Think about how you want your final map to look.
~Do you want to use colors? Bring color pencils.
~Do you want to add little extra drawings of ships, sea monsters,
compass rose, or Poseidon with his Triton if you have time?
Practice drawing them now!
HOMEWORK FOR THIS WEEK:
TEST yourself by drawing from memory!!!
Draw one world map from MEMORY each day. Then get an Atlas to correct it.
1. Clearly defined shape of the continents and islands
(sri lanka, iceland etc.) Do not label the continents!
2. Proportion
3. Island groupings of Melanesia/ Micronesia/ Polynesia (remember:angles)
4. label from MEMORY- then go back to add more or correct
5. List of Watery things to label.PRINT it here.
6. Major great circles 5 use this link.
(Equator, Prime Meridian, Arctic/Antarctic circles,
Tropic of Capricorn/Cancer)draw these on- know what areas they go across.
DUE: 4 world maps- it is OK if there are erasing marks-
you SHOULD have erasing marks- none of you can draw the continents
perfectly on the first try. YET! ;o)
