Japan and Korea's Map
A few things to think about when doing your Japan and Korea's Map.
1 - BE NEAT!!!! If the map isn't readable, then you can't study it for your map quizzes.
2 - Use more than one resource. We have a textbook and two different atlases in the classroom. Some people like to use the internet as well. Just make sure everything is accurate.
3 - Remember...it is a study guide! You will use this map to study for map quizzes and for your unit exam.
