This is part 1 of your student's geography assignment for co-op 15. They will need a copy of the map sent to them by Ellen a couple of weeks ago, a copy of the attached document, a pencil, and a ruler. This worksheet will help to solidify their map reading skills and reviews some of the concepts we've discussed in class. I'm hoping that they find it fun and they may or may not need a little help, depending on their independent spirit!! I am not at all opposed to the students working on this with a friend over facetime or Zoom if you feel they need some outside interaction or help that you don't have time to give. I only ask that each student make an effort to learn about the many wonderful pockets of information found on road maps and where they might be located. We will go over the answers to this exercise during our Zoom meeting next Thursday. I would also like the students to show me their completed Africa maps.
Also, I will be creating a Mystery Roadtrip in the next day or two, where they will again be using the map, but this time they'll need to follow my clues to get to the final mysterious destination. My goal was to go ahead and let the students get started on the first exercise sheet, so please be on the lookout for part 2 of their assignment in the next few days.
Blessings and praying you are all sane and healthy while you quarantine at home!! As always, don't hesitate to let me know if there are any questions or concerns about the assignment. Just a side note...other siblings might enjoy these exercises as well.
