In these 5 lessons you will learn about some of America's most important and memorable landmarks. In addition to learning the material and passing the A+ tests you will need to create a map showing where these landmarks are found.
TIP: Have a blank outline map with you as you do the lessons so you can map them as you learn about them. This map will be your rough draft. Once you have them all it will be easier to see how to space them and to decide if you want to label them with a key or in place. Create a final draft and you are done!
A US map that shows the American landmarks mentioned in the A+ lessons. There are many different ways to organize and label this map - find the style that works best for you. Please turn in any rough drafts you create as part of the process.
| A | This map has no errors/mistakes and looks like it is ready for publishing. The professional look comes from well-planned-out use of color, legends and other symbols. The student's attention to detail and creativity shine. |
|---|---|
| B | This map shows some effort towards organizing the information and making a professional map. There are few typos or other distracting errors. Color is used to enhance the map; other extras like different fonts or a key may also increase the visual appeal of this map. |
| C | There isn't much difference between the final draft and the rough draft of this map. The landmarks are all on the map and they are identified in some way. |
