You will have a map quiz the first week of school that will assess your ability to
locate the following on the world map. You will not be allowed to use your
completed map for this quiz.
On the World Map color and label the following with correct spelling:

A quiz will be given the first week of school in which you will be allowed to use

course of the year, I would highly recommend good quality maps.
