is important on
them and what
the symbols
mean.
ELABORATE:
 On a separate
sheet of paper
have the
students copy
the description
of the features
on the maps.
Then have the
students and
then have the
students add an
explanation of
how the map

the aspects of
the natural world
and how they
could have been
made.
