INSTRUCTIONS: Using the blank map provided in Canvas, neatly print the following terms onto one or more blank outline maps of Europe. The best maps are both neat and accurate. A map is like a book in that someone (me) will be reading it and trying to understand and maybe even use the information presented. Most if not all of the information can be found in your Goode’s Atlas. Check-out all the major sections of the atlas before you begin work. Also check-out how information is conveyed by the atlas using printing (small v. large letters), symbols (different colors and shades, dots for cities) and other techniques. Here are some simple map rules which I will use to grade your map:
1. Lettering (L): Print don’t write, and try to print neatly. Parallel printing of different terms is generally preferred unless there is a reason not to print parallel such as along a river or mountain range or something like that.
2. Symbols (S): Use map symbols for more clarity and accuracy: every city should have a dot, use single open triangle for a single mountain, multiple open triangles for mountain ranges etc. Use closed triangle for volcano. Remember: the symbol shows location, not the printed name or term.
3. Placement (P): Try to locate everything as accurately as you can.
4. Spelling (Sp): Be accurate with your spelling.
5. Incomplete (I): Any missing term will be marked with an I on the map.
6. Arrows and Lines (AL): Don’t use arrows or lines to show locations. If the map becomes too crowded, go to a second or even third map.
7. Parentheses: Parentheses ( ) are there to help you, do not print the parentheses or the terms inside them on the map.
8. Map Key: Any uncommon map symbol that may cause confusion for the map reader should be explained in a MAP KEY located on the side or bottom of the map.
