You are the CartographerYou are the Cartographer I want you to draw a map of

Georgia (600’s of the book) Put the following

location/features on it◦ Appalachian Plateau◦ Ridge and Valley◦ Blue Ridge◦ Piedmont◦ Coastal Plain◦ Fall line◦ Okefenokee Swamp◦ Chattahoochee River◦ Savannah River◦ Atlantic Ocean◦ Barrier Islands◦ Appalachian MountainsMake a Legend and key

Puzzling studentsPuzzling studentsI want you to come up with ten words that describe you. I don’t want these to be lazy descriptions (don’t put something lame like nice and fun). Spread them around the Friday section and draw puzzle pieces around them

Class MapClass Map• We will finish

breaking down important physical features of Georgia

• Discuss Georgian Climate

• We will try an activity where you are the Cartographer
