Making a Map Activity Rubric l.net



Map of the World Project

Due: Thursday, September 22nd

A map is a picture of a place. Different maps show different information. We have learned about three different types of maps: political, thematic, and physical.

DIRECTIONS: Draw a clear and precise political map of the world. Include and label everything on the Map of the World Checklist. Your grade will be based on the checklist and The Map of the World Rubric. Your map can be any size equal to or larger than a standard 8x11 piece of paper (do not use lined paper).
