1. Atlas Project
Objective: Create an atlas that demonstrates a detailed effort in world geography.
This is your capstone project for this class. It is worth a BUNCH of points. Usually, you will work on this assignment when you have completed your other work. I will give you a set of maps that cover all the regions of the world. You will create your own atlas. You need to have part of the atlas with you at all times for the rest of the school year. This is a requirement. If you lose your atlas, you will have to pay for new copies with school supplies.
