USA Map Quick Draw
Practice: Get ready for some activities.
Activities are designed to be parent- or teacher-supervised.
Step 1
Using the step-by-step directions below draw the USA one line at a time. Start by drawing the green line in the first box. Add each green line in the following boxes. It may take a lot of erasing and starting over. When happy with the drawing, trace over the final drawing with a marker. Students will become familiar with the basic shape of the USA and how difficult it must’ve been for the explorers to make an accurate map.
Step 2
To extend have the students make basic maps to show the route of the expedition, add a map to their journal, make a map of the physical geography (mountains and rivers etc.), or the Louisiana Purchase.
