  4. Objective • Students will design a map of an imaginary country that they create with a partner • Students will identify and include important terms on their maps related to map skills

  5. Map Skills Five Themes of Geography & Important Terms

  6. Map A graphic representation of selected characteristics of a place, usually drawn to scale on a flat surface.

  7. The Five Themes of Geography • When geographers work, they are guided by two basic questions: • Where are things located? • Why are they there? To find these answers, geographers use five themes to organize information

  8. The Five Themes Of Geography • 1. Location • Absolute Location • Latitude • Parallel to the Equator • Longitude • Parallel to the Prime Meridian • Relative Location • 2. Place • Characteristics • 3. Human-Environment Interactions • Relationships within places

  9. Five Themes Continued… • 4. Movement • Communication • Transportation • Settlement and Migration Patterns • 5. Regions • Ex: Middle East, Midwest

  10. Types of Maps • Political Maps • showing the country capital and large cities, states, or counties • Physical Maps • showing the wide range of landforms in the country • Color Key Maps • showing average temperature, population density, elevations • Natural Resources Maps • showing locations of centers of agriculture, manufacturing, education

  11. What does this map illustrate? Political map- shows boundaries/borders of countries (man-made)

  12. What does this map illustrate? Physical map- shows geographic features such as mountains, lakes, deserts etc.

  13. Types of Landforms 0:59 0:58 0:57 0:56 0:55 0:54 0:53 0:52 0:51 0:50 0:49 0:32 0:48 1:00 0:46 0:35 0:36 0:37 0:47 0:39 0:38 0:41 0:42 0:43 0:44 0:45 0:40 1:00 0:34 0:33 0:31 0:15 0:27 0:26 0:25 0:24 0:23 0:22 0:21 0:20 0:19 0:18 0:17 0:16 End 0:28 0:14 0:12 0:11 0:10 0:09 0:08 0:07 0:06 0:05 0:04 0:03 0:02 0:01 0:30 0:13 0:29 • Types of landforms? • Bay • Canal • Canyon • Dam • Desert • Forest • Grassland • Highland • Hill • Isthmus • Lake • Mountain • Peninsula • River • Savannah • Strait • Volcano • Waterfall • Woodlands

  14. Key Elements- DOGSTAILS • Date • When the map was made • Orientation • Directions • Compass • Grid • Locates places on the map • Scale • What the map distance is • Title • What, where, and when • Author • Who made the map • Index • Map address of places • Legend • What the symbols mean • Sources • Basis for map information

  15. Title, Date, & Author • Title • Identifies what is happening, where, and when. • Date • Text identifying when the map was made and/or updated. • Author • Text identifying the cartographer or organization responsible for making the map.

  16. Orientation • Orientation: • A north arrow is a symbol indicating the direction in which north lies • A compass rose is a symbol indicating the cardinal directions • N, S, E,W • NE, NW, SE, SW

  17. Grid • Grid • Intersecting lines, “coordinate system” drawn on a map to pinpoint location. • Often latitudes and longitudes

  18. Scale • The relationship between distance on a map and actual distance on the earth. • A map showing a small area in detail is a “large scale” map • Amap showing a large area without much detail is a “small scale” map

  19. Legend • Legend or Key • A guide identifying what the map’s symbols and colors represent.

You have 2 minutes to find your matching pairand be seated. • If you have a term they will have the definition it goes with. • If you have a definition they will have the term it goes with. • Together you will create an imaginary country • Use create a country worksheet as a guideline.
