1. Historical Perspective Map Activity

2. Map Directions ► With your group, you will create a map of the world out of butcher paper. The orange piece is your background (i.e. the water), and the white paper will be the continents. ► Tear out the shape of the continents – label them. ► The only materials you may use are tape, butcher paper, a pen or pencil, your hands, and your brains! ► Next draw in and label as many countries, capitals, and cities as possible. Don’t forget to label major bodies of water too! ► The best map will be chosen for a prize!
