Week 7: Southwest Asia (Middle East) & Islam

PRINT: Goal Setting Chart

Draw: 11 maps of the Middle East using the 9.2 map I gave you
with the outline on it. Draw borders & label each of the 11 maps
with the countries & rivers of the Middle East.

DRAW: 1 World map with all the continents and
label the oceans and seas you have studied so far.
Use this map to see how drawing the PM, Equator and Tropics of
Capricorn & Cancer will help you center your drawings.

NO TRACING! I know- you will have to look at a world map as
you are drawing it- that is OK, you are practicing drawing
the world by heart! Just think how easy the final will be!
