TITLE?
NO!

Countries of the World
Physical Features of the World
World Climate
Global Rainforest Destruction
Need an example?
What else do I need for my map?
ORIENTATION
in other words…...
whi
ch w
ay is
“U
P”??
You’ll need a rose...
BUT THIS ONE WON’T WORK
THIS IS A COMPASS ROSE!
It shows direction or orientation
(…and north is NEVER up!)
Is there more?
You bet!
You need a date...
No, not this kind!
“Wanna see a movie tonight, sweetie?”
THIS kind!
July 12, 1492(we need to know WHEN the map was made)
SO…what does the “A” in TODALS stand for?
AUTHOR,of course
(who created the map, the source of the map)
NO, silly, not this kind...
Dr. Seuss
THIS KIND!
National Geographic
What more could there be?
A legend,
of course
You mean, like this?
Look, it’s Johnny Appleseed!
NO, like this!
(just another name for a key!)
We MUST be done with the parts of a perfect map!
RIGHT??
Not quite--one more part
What could it be?
a scale, or course!
WAIT!
I have a question!
Why should we weigh the map?
We shouldn’t--we need this scale...
to show distance compared to a measurement
Now we have a perfect mapTITLE
