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.
