Let's Make a Map

Let’s make a map!

Your Job! You will create a map of Europe with a partner/group that accurately shows the physical features of Europe. You will use bulletin board paper, provided by me, to draw the outline of Europe. With your partner/group you decide what materials you want to use to label the different physical features of Europe.

Why am I doing this?

✓ to show that you know where mountains and rivers are located in Europe

✓ by understanding Europe’s physical you will better understand ancient cultures in Europe

Step 1: What needs to be included.
