Today we reviewed chapters 4 & 5 in "Treasure Island." Since the story involves reading treasure maps, travel and adventure we began our look at how to accurately read maps. We reviewed how maps show us continents, countries, states and/or counties, and cities. A continent is one of several large land masses on the Earth, usually separated by oceans. A country is a nation with its own government, occupying a particular territory. A state or county is a political or administrative region within a country, providing certain governmental services. Mercer is adept with Google maps, but our goal today was to review how to read regular maps and globes, as well.
