Three Maps of Texas

On Friday, we drew three different maps of Texas. The first was from memory, the second was from looking at a map of Texas, and the third is remembering the map by memory. The first row of maps have a distinct image of Texas. They all have the memorable, straight boundaries of New Mexico. The lines were not always straight, some of it was actually from New Mexico, until they divided the land to the Texas we have today. The second row of maps show more of the Texas image. This is because we looked at a map while drawing. The proportions improved tremendously and the boarders were improved and redefined.

  1. You analyzed the maps very well and succinctly described how Step 2 (drawing while looking at the map) brought about improvement.

    Since you are writing a formal essay-style paragraph, you should spell out "three." I don't want to sound hypocritical because of my use of numerals, but I am only doing so to make it easier for you all to follow my instructions. Were I writing a formal essay, I would follow correct usage.

    Please replace the picture with the new and improved one I put in the class blog today.

    A big bravo to you for catching up on all this work today, Wingboy! Outstanding!

  2. Oh, and one other thing: kudos for the excellent design of your blog; I like the way you keep tweaking it to get just the look you want.
