Homework

Please complete a map(on computer paper) that shows the route from your house to HTMS. Be sure to include important features, natural or man-made, that would mark your route(buildings, roads, bodies of water, a particular stand of trees, etc.). This map should be drawn from an overhead perspective. Please be very neat and try to incorporate some form of scale to your map (EX: 1 inch = 1/4 mile). Make sure to include names of these places/objects. Don't forget to include the cardinal points(North, South, East, West) on your map correctly. Remember, only show those features that are important to find your way from house to school.
