Please complete all items on the list to the best of your ability in order to earn full
credit.

Choose 10 geographical terms that you are not familiar with

Determine whether you will create your book in a portrait or landscape

oriented the same way throughout your book

Clearly and neatly write each word on the page

Clearly and neatly write the definition of each word on each page

Illustrate each word with an image that helps the reader understand the
definition

Color the illustrations using colored pencils (Note: water should be
depicted as blue, land forms as green or brown as appropriate)

Use each term in a sentence that shows you know what the word means
EX: Unacceptable: We had a picnic on the bay. (Bay in this sentence
could substituted for river, mountain, desert or gulf.)
Acceptable: We took our boat out for a refreshing ride on the bay.
 Choose any 2 of your terms to create a 3-D model. You may use any
materials you’d like: cardboard, paper, clay, tinfoil, wax paper, Styrofoam,
rocks, sticks…use your imagination. This part will be completed at HOME.
Please see me if you need certain supplies and I will try to help.
