Emphasize neatness from the beginning! This map shows the major pieces of land that made up the United States in 1860. Remind students to shade very lightly, or the labels will be hard to read. Also remind them to leave a "window" as shown in the large areas, so the dates show through clearly. The dates are listed in the paragraphs on the facing map guide page. Labeling should be done with a regular #2 pencil, or an erasable ink pen. Regular color pencils are not very good for small lettering, and a mistake with a regular ink pen can't be corrected. |
