The Geography of North Carolina Activity: Create an illustrated map

Students will illustrate individual maps of North Carolina. They will be responsible for distinguishing the mountain, piedmont, and coastal plain regions, in addition to labeling a list of places/key geographic features. We will refer back to these maps over the course of the year as we discuss the places and features that they are responsible for labeling. After the students create their individual maps, they will work in groups of 4 or 5 to create a detailed portion of North Carolina for a large class map. This map will be more specifically labeled than the individual maps. I will hang the large map on the wall at the front of the classroom for reference purposes, and students may add to their individual maps over time.
