Maps are used to find location of certain things whether it be a building, park, lake, road, anything. They help you when your lost. Maps include a COMPASS ROSE (N,S,E,W), a MAP LEGEND, and a SCALE. Maps have been around for thousands of years.

Project 1. Partners will be assigned. 2. A plain map will be given to each group. 3. Draw places on it (rivers, buildings, forests). 4. Create a Map Legend and a compass for your map. 5. Be creative! 6. Follow the rubric to make sure you get all the credit!
