Not all maps look alike! We want to go find some different maps of your state so that we can start to build our next project. Here’s what we’re going to need:

1. Outline Map of the US
2. Color Map (get the large one if you can)
3. Outline Map
4. Topographic Relief Map

You are going to use the World Atlas to find your maps. Once you open the World Atlas, click on the name of your state to start finding your maps.

For each map that you find, you want to Control-Click and choose Save to Documents. Once you save a map, you need to follow these directions.

1. Open your Documents Folder
2. Click on your map
3. Apple-I
4. Add the word color, outline, or topo to the file name so that you know what the map is.
5. Move the map to the state folder that you created
6. Go find the next map

Pretend that you are the author of the website that you last evaluated. Now, you need to defend BOTH your topic as well as your website to a panel of critics. Create a PowerPoint presentation using the following criteria. We will present these in class.

PowerPoint Criteria

You must follow all of the directions IN ORDER or your PowerPoint may not work when you use the Windows computer in the Library to give your presentation.

1. Open PowerPoint
2. Save your file with your first name, last initial, and your topic

   ex: janed-DHMO.ppt

3. Your first slide must be a title slide. It should have your topic as the Title and a reason for defending it as the Sub-Title
4. You second slide (Title & Bullets slide) must be an introduction to your argument, not your topic. It should provide details about why we should believe you that your topic and your site are credible
5. Your third slide (Title, Picture, & Bullets slide) addresses the topic itself. On this slide, you should have an image that best represents your topic as well as some key facts that describes what your topic is.
6. Your fourth slide (Title & Bullets) provides 3-4 key points that defends the credibility of your website.
7. Your last slide (Title & Bullets) concludes your argument. It should leave us with a lasting impression for why the “panel of judges” should believe you.
8. Format your Master Slide such that your layout and design choices support your argument (I will walk you through this when we are ready).
9. Add slide transitions and/or text transitions (You will get extra credit for doing both).

To start with, we want to identify and label as many items as possible on our maps of Africa. You will want to use a variety of maps from WorldAtlas.com. Remember, not all maps look the same.

Once you have found all of your features, use Ask.com to find your pictures. Remember to click on the images tab before you begin.

Open up your eval1 document and Save As firstname-eval2.doc (ex: johnd-eval2.doc). Start your second evaluation below your first one.

Complete the same evaluation of your assigned site as you did in Part 1. Make sure that you write each evaluation term in your document before you begin and then answer all of the questions. Also make sure you identify whether or not the topic is real or unreal as well as whether or not the website is credible or not credible.
