<p> World Map Assignment Hirsch Fall semester, 2006</p><p>One of the many tools you will need to explore specific parts of the globe is a feel for the geography of our world as a whole. For this project, you will create a mercator map projection of the world. This map is to be accurate and detailed. That does not mean you need to be an incredible artist. It DOES mean that you need to take your time, be very careful, and pay attention to detail at every turn. You will be graded based on the rubric on the reverse side.</p><p>POINTS: 20 DUE: Friday, October 13th Directions: 1) Draw your Equator (width) and Prime Meridian (length) on your piece of paper. Each should be in the center of the page. 2) Next, mark your lines of latitude and longitude. Each line of longitude should be 1.5 inches apart and labeled in 30 degree increments (e.g. 30,60,90 N/S, 0-180 E/W). Each line of latitude should be 2 inches apart. You should have 7 lines of latitude including the equator and paper edges and 13 lines of longitude including the Prime Meridian and the paper edges. I suggest you draw very lightly at first, so you can erase mistakes. 3) Use hash marks (dotted lines) to draw the Tropics of Cancer (23.5 N) and Capricorn (23.5 S). 4) All maps are to have the title “World Map” at the top. 5) Draw in all continents and major islands. Use points of longitude and latitude to connect key points on your drawing, splitting it up in to “digestible pieces”. Each of these places must be filled in with different colors. 6) Label all required countries in Black. Country names should be in all caps (cities are not). 7) Color in all bodies of Water in Blue. 8) Label and diagram all mountain ranges in Brown. 9) Label and fill in all deserts in Orange. 10) Draw a compass rose 11) Completed key</p><p>PLACES YOU ARE REQUIRED TO LOCATE CONTINENTS RIVERS MOUNTAINS BODIES OF Mediterranean Sea North America Amazon Himalayas WATER Hudson Bay South America Mississippi Urals Pacific Ocean Bering Sea Antarctica Congo Andes Atlantic Ocean Tasman Sea Australia Nile Rockies Caribbean Sea Arctic Ocean Asia Ganges Appalachians Gulf of Mexico Weddel Sea Europe Tigris Ethiopian Highlands Indian Ocean Great Lakes Africa Euphrates Brazilian Highlands Caucasus PENINSULA: Arabian, Kamchatka, Iberian, Antarctic ISLAND NATIONS Madagascar New Zealand Sri Lanka New Guinea Taiwan OTHER Greenland Plateau of Tibet, Gobi Desert, Sahara Desert Japan Philippines Iceland Indonesia Cuba</p><p>CONTENT RUBRIC SCORE DESCRIPTION 5 (A) I.
