Part B: Equator, Prime Meridian, and Hemispheres 

Each pair in the classroom will receive a blank global map to label. For Part B you both will learn about the Equator, Primeridian, and Hemispheres. Your task today is to use what you learn from this link to label the Equator, Prime Meridian, and four Hemispheres on your map. To label your map please use this key: label the Equator purple, the Prime Meridian red, and write the four Hemispheres in black. When you finish labeling for today place both of your names on your map and turn into me. I will give you back your maps to continue for Part C tomorrow! 

Part C: Continents

Label all of the continents onto your global map with a black pen so it is easily read. You can shade in your continents the color they are highlighted here in Part C links. Make sure all continents are labeled! Use a yellow highlighter or yellow color pencil to color the continent name we live in right now. When you are done coloring in the continents, labeling the names in black pen, and highlighting our continent we are in right now in yellow turn it back into me to finish today's task! 

Part D: Oceans 

Be sure you and your partner get your map from me before beginning today. There are five oceans. Listen here at this link to hear a song about the oceans! This link will give you tons of information about oceans. Be sure to label on your map the five oceans. Write the ocean names in black pen and color all oceans of the globe map blue. Why blue? Because the ocean is BLUE! :) Turn in your map again to me.
