• Atlases are a great tool to use, as they often contain physical feature maps. Atlases are found in the classroom, and students are encouraged to use them.

• If an atlas is unavailable while at home, the website contains several maps for students to look at. Google Earth is another valuable resource.

• If you make a mistake and need a new map, extras will be in the homework bin. Please feel free to help yourself!
