HONOURS GEOGRAPHY
Making Maps
*Students will work alone, in pairs, or in groups of three to measure
the physical features of the 8-9 campus. Using these measurements
and other observations, the students will make maps to turn in.
The maps will be graded for neatness, accuracy, and for following some
basic rules of mapmaking.
*Each maps should have a compass rose to indicate North. They
should each have a key or legend describing any symbols they use.
They should each have a scale, showing how distances on their map
compare to distances on the actual campus.
*The students should also put their names and class period on the map,
perhaps on the back. If we have a compass, we will ascertain
which way north is. If not, we will make our best guess.
