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!
Tell students to complete the map details (such as color
for the rivers and lakes, Sherman's March, etc.) before doing
the shading of the states. Be sure students add the label for Sherman's
March when they draw in the route.
Once all the details are on, students should very lightly
shade the states of the Union and the states of the Confederacy.
Dark shading will make the map almost useless.
Remind students that there were hundreds of battles.
It would take a large and very detailed map to show them all.
