World Map! !

Today we began the process of drawing and labeling a World Map.  This is a "long term" project; the kids will have this entire week to complete this assignment.  Since this is the only expectation for this week is to work on the map, there will be no homework.  If the map won't be completed by the end of class on Friday, October 25, I will send it home to be completed over the weekend.

Below are the required items and the scoring rubric.  I have suggested to the kids that they use the "Required Items" lists as a checklist; if they cross off items as they are added to the map, then everything should be on the map.  The final due date for the map is Monday, October 28, 2013.

Thanks,
Cathy
