US II and the World Summer Assignment ­ All levels Directions: 1. Print out the blank out line maps provided. 2. Use the colors listed and the list provided of regions, countries, cities, water bodies, and land formations to correctly label the maps. 3. Use the maps to study the regions of the world where the items you labeled are located. Purpose: You are labeling these maps yourself, instead of using pre­labeled maps to study, for a few reasons: 1. This will serve as a useful tool to be used in a classroom assignment at the beginning of the year. 2. By labeling the items yourself it allows the brain to better absorb the locations. 3. By using the correct colors to label these items it makes deciphering locations and reading the map easier for both you and your teacher. Upon Returning to school in the fall you will be tested on your understanding of geography as it applies to regions throughout the world. You will also be completing a classroom assignment involving geography, current events, and writing. The completed maps will be counted as a graded assignment on the first day of school.
