How to complete a map correctly:
-Print legibly in blue or black ink ONLY
-Use map pencils ONLY (no markers, crayons, or highlighters)
-No abbreviations (exceptions: Mountains = Mts., Island = Is., River = R.)
-Include your name
-Give your map a title
-Include a compass rose
**Label each feature on your map by writing the name, THEN color the feature according to directions (do not simply color the name)
-States / countries should be in ALL CAPS, everything else is upper and lower case
*After you have labeled a feature, cross it off this list
-Be sure to follow all directions carefully
