Activity • Given a map of North America with Latitude and Longitude lines and cities marked on the map: • Find the coordinates of the cities and write them next to the appropriate city • Note: even though we all know that North America is in the Northern and Western Hemispheres, your coordinates still need to include the N-S and E-W part of the coordinates.
Homework • Given a map of North America with Latitude and Longitude lines and cities marked on the map: • Identify cities using their Latitude and Longitude coordinates • Remember that your parent/guardian must sign the assignment or it will not be accepted for scoring. Late work procedures will apply in this case.
Tomorrow • We will be in the computer lab.
