TASK:
World Map
DEFINED
TASK: Students will make a construction paper map of the world.
Our social studies class has just
been invaded by aliens from another planet. They are extremely interested
in our planet Earth and want to know if there are any other places they
can visit besides North America. You tell them there are six other continents
they can visit and (being the nice student that you are) you decide to
make a world map for them to use for the remainder of their trip. The
directions for your map are as follows:
1. Cut out the shape of your map from blue paper using
the tracer
provided.
2. Label each of the seven continents on the hand-out
and cut
them apart.
3. Glue each continent in the correct location on your
map.
4. Label the four oceans.
5. Use a dotted line to draw in the equator.
