Mental Mapping


1) Draw a mental map of Africa and Asia. You should draw them both on the same page, and connect them to each other.

• You can look at a map for reference, but do not trace.


• You can use pen or pencil.

2) Add the following physical features to your map:

• Rivers: Nile, Niger, Congo
• Mountains: Himalayas
• Deserts: Gobi, Sahara
• Bodies of Water: Red Sea, South China Sea, Arabian Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Bay of Bengal, Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean
• Islands: Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Japan, Madagascar

OPTIONAL: If you want to, you can lightly shade or color your map, but make sure it is still clear and readable.

TIP: Look at the maps in the textbook on pages 14 and 16.
