Make sure to keep this in mind...
Risk-Takers
It’s your first day in a new class! It can be really hard to speak up at a new school, but let’s have everyone participate together so that we can get to know each other!

Important Question:
What is the difference between CONTINENTS and COUNTRIES?
![Page 7: Maps and the World](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813c7f550346895da62152/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Hmm…big thoughts
If the borders of a country changes, will the continent change?

Todals! Why?
• TODALS helps us know what we are looking at• We will use TODALS to analyze maps• Every time you are asked to analyze a map, the first thing you will do
is identify the parts of TODALS
![Page 11: Maps and the World](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813c7f550346895da62152/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Title
• The title tells you what the map is about
![Page 12: Maps and the World](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813c7f550346895da62152/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Orientation Helps you figure out basic direction
The compass rose is used for this map element
![Page 13: Maps and the World](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813c7f550346895da62152/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Are you with me?
• Turn and Talk
• Partner 1 (smaller number): What is a Compass Rose?
• Partner 2 (bigger number): Why are Compass Rose’s important?

Date
• The date tells you when the map was made• This is important to know if the map is up to
date
![Page 15: Maps and the World](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813c7f550346895da62152/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Author
• Tells us who created the map• This is important because you can tell if there are other maps made
by that same author

Legend
• The legend helps you interpret any symbols or colors that appear on the map • Example:

Important Question:

Scale
• The scale tells you how the real distance compares to the distance on the map
![Page 20: Maps and the World](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813c7f550346895da62152/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Grid
The gird uses LATITUDE and LONGITUDE lines to help us locate where things are. (More on this next class!)

Group Work
Work with a table partner, and circle and label all of the TODALS on the maps that you can find. Then, write a one-sentence summary that tells your audience what the map is about.
