Lableing Maps

Today we labeled three different maps.  We had to label the 7 continents, 5 oceans, Equator, Prime Meridian, where our ancestors were originally from, Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, the International Date Line, and where John Carroll is located. It was a tedious project and I found it annoying. I much rather have Mr. Schick go on a rant about a single topic. I generally like it, he gives a lot of information about how the people thought about the topic then verses now.  I like talking about how there are different ways to see the world. I, however, do not like taking a whole class to find locations of places on a map. I find it boring and tedious work. I didn't take long before I figured out where all the places were and how to draw them though. I don't think I did very well drawing the lines and other locations.
