COUNTRY OUTLINE & FLAG
Outline Map:
1. Take a sheet of blank paper and draw 1” margin lines on all four sides (follow the teacher's example).
2. Determine which direction is NORTH. Does this mean your map will be verticle or horizontal on the page? Put X's down the WESTERN side of your paper. This will be where your "atlas" will be bound. This reminds you not to put anything important there.
3. Label your map with the name of your country on the top line. Make sure it is NEAT and easy to read. Remember: names are CAPITALIZED. (Note: On future maps, the title of each map will follow the name. EX: Angeland: Physical Map)
4. Label your latitude and longitude lines. Make sure to use proper labeling: 32˚N. (When typing to make the ˚ sign use OPTION + K.)
5. Add a compass rose in the N-W or N-E corner of your map.
6. Underneath your bottom latitude line, label the space for your LEGEND or KEY.
7. Right above the Southern latitude line, include a scale (1”=100 miles) - you need to consider this when creating your country.
8. Roll for the number of NEIGHBORS you will have: 1 = island, 6 = landlocked, 2-5 = number of neighbors.
8. Roll for the number of RIVERS you will have: # = number of rivers.
9. Draw your outline map, the shape of your country. Make sure your country is entirely inside of your longitude and latitude lines.
10. Include but DO NOT LABEL rivers, mountains, lakes, deltas, and boundaries of neighbors. Use page GH14-15 for ideas. You will need to know where the ocean or sea is if that is going to be a part of your country.
11. Put your name on the back. Also, record 5 statistics/facts (using numbers) about your country using the scale (1" = 100 miles).
12. Create your initial flag for your country.
