Comments about your 2-d maps:

I have marked many of your 2-d maps and I am noticing some patterns. Many of you did a great job of finding rivers and colouring the maps, but you did not read the directions carefully, forgetting to include important themes such as where resources are located. ALWAYS read directions carefully on future projects. The rubric (the marking grid) gave you an exact idea of how the 2-d map would be evaluated; always ensure you have completed all elements of an assignment or project! Overall these maps were very well done and I am proud of our classes for the hard work on this project!
