Tips
for completing the map:
Students should work from the finished map shown on the
Internet support site or from our overhead transparency map collection.
Emphasize neatness from the beginning!
Ask students to mark the routes on the map very lightly
with color pencils at first, so they can erase a mistake if necessary.
Once students have a route properly placed on the map,
they can go over the line to darken the color. A ring of dots
surrounds the Spice Islands as a guide - it will become a red oval to highlight
the location of these islands. Be sure to remind students to complete
the key as they work.
The bodies of water should be labeled in the workbook with
a regular #2 pencil or, if the students are very careful, with a blue pen.
(Regular color pencils don't work well for printing small letters.)
It is not necessary to color the seas, lakes, and oceans.
But some students may want to do so, and it's fine as long as they use
light blue, and shade very lightly.
Finally, have students shade the small map as directed,
using color pencils. Notice that the Muslim areas lay across the
middle of the trade routes that are shown on the large map.
