Mr. Tracey’s
Map Completion Guidelines
Follow this guide for all of your maps!!!!
Requirements:
1.Label cities with a dot.
2.Label national capital cities with a star.
3.Provide a map key that explains all symbols used on your map.
4.Color requirements for labeling:
a.COUNTRIES – BLACK (color every country - whether you have to label it or not!)
b.Cities – Black (Capital cities can - but do not have to - be in red.
c.Bodies of water – Blue (OCEANS IN CAPS)
d.Other land forms – your choice
e.I do not require that you color in bodies of water.
4. Do not add anything extra to your map - only include the places,
etcetera, that are included on the guideline sheet handed out by Mr. Tracey.
Suggestions:
1. Label everything in pencil first, then erase pencil lines after going over
them in pen/marker - you will only receive one map!
2. Outline all areas before coloring.
3. Label cities first, land/water areas second, countries last - then color.
You will be graded on accuracy, neatness, spelling, and overall effort!!!!
