Hello ACT Friends,
Tonight for homework, all sixth graders are doing a packet. No one had time to get started on it in class; I handed it out as they walked out the door. I will give (or I have given) this to you before you go home today too. Here's an overview of the directions I gave related to the packet...
You're going to be looking at three different mapmaker's pictures of planet Earth. For each map, when you look at it you should record (in the chart on the second sheet of paper in the packet) your first impression of that map. This means, what is the first thing that pops into your head when you look at that map. There is no right or wrong answer, just record YOUR first impression/ thought.
You will also be recording (in the chart on the second sheet of paper in the packet) what seems to be accurate about each map and what seems to be distorted. In the accurate box for each map, note parts of the map that look the size you think they are in real life. In the distorted box for each map, note the parts of the map that do not seem to be anything like the size you think they are in real life.
Then, after the chart is completely filled out, there are two questions at the bottom of the page. Please answer these to the best of your ability. The second question is an opinion...there is no right or wrong answer.
This packet is due tomorrow. If you have questions, comment below and I'll try to clear them up for you ASAP. :)
