ISS Geography Assignment
- COVER YOUR GEOGRAPHY TEXTBOOK – all sections should have this done by Friday 10/24
- After reading the Geography Skills Handbook p. 1-15, you are to create two “mental maps.” These maps are to be done from memory, not using any resources other than your brain. They do not need to be perfect, but you do need to make them neat so that they are legible.
- Map 1 – create a large-scale mental map of a place that you are familiar with. This should be more detailed since you know this place well. This could be your neighborhood, route to school, a part of town you frequent, routes that you run, etc… (It should not be just one building.) You should have a title and a key and you should attempt to determine scale. This is a sketch map, so do not use pen – USE PENCIL and SKETCH lightly until you are confident your map is the way you want it. You may use color if you like once the pencil sketch is complete. Some where on this map you should include a larger scale map (in the corner) that shows the place you are sketching in relation to the state that it is in.
- Map 2 – create a small-scale mental map of the world. Again this should be from memory and not a text book. Sketch as many political and physical featurs of the Earth as you can remember. Be sure that you make the map clean and neat so that it is easy to read. Include a title and key!
Phase 5 – sections A, D, F – this assignment is due by Friday 10/24
