4th grade Cartography

4th Graders read and viewed slides about the history of map making called Cartography. They now are drawing their own imaginary land maps. They are required to have at least 4 land forms, a compass rose, and ships/ sea monsters.  After sharpie they colored small areas with colored pencil. The large parts are painted with watercolor.  Finally they glued them to  page of a current USA state map. These have been fun and very creative. Thank you Deep Space Sparkle for the inspiration!
