Google Maps Assignment

Throughout the semester, you will be required to add 5 places to the Honors World History Map, located on Google Maps. You are free to choose which places you add to the map, all that I ask is that the places have relevance to what we are studying. In addition to specific cities, you may also add dynasties, empires, trade routes, exploration routes, battle sites, pieces of art (and where they are located today), birthplaces of people we study, and anything else that we discuss in class. When this map starts to take shape, you will be able to use it as an awesome user generated study guide.

In order to get full points for this assignment you must add the following things to your map entry:
1) A title (City name, Battle Name, etc...)
2) A relevant picture
3) A strong description of the entry's significance

*YOU MAY ADD ADDITIONAL ENTRIES TO THE MAP FOR EXTRA CREDIT. YOU WILL RECEIVE 5 POINTS E.C. FOR EVERY 5 ENTRIES. These points will be added to your total map grade.

*If you would like to add additional information to an entry, please do so BUT DO NOT delete the original entry.

*If an entry is important to multiple units, please add a second balloon with the new information

*For help on editing maps use this link, the link for our class map is here: http://www.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=112903216433486464977.00047e96f8059a048d7ab&z=4
