Middle East Map Assignment
DoDEA Standard
6.3c Mesopotamia, Yellow River valley, Indus River valley, and Nile River valley complex societies and civilizations
adapted to and modified their environment to meet the needs of their population.
6.1c The physical environment influences human population distribution, land use, economic activities, and political connections. Note- To understand scale, students will work with maps at a variety of scales so they can compare patterns in population density and land use, economic activity, and political connections across the present-day Eastern Hemisphere, within a region of the Eastern Hemisphere, and in a specific country. In doing so, students will examine maps of the hemisphere, three regions within the present-day Eastern Hemisphere, and one specific country within each region.

In-class Assignment / Homework - Use the map on the United Arab Emirates page to complete the assignment and to use guide. You will be given a sheet of paper on which to complete this assignment.
Step 1 - Draw the map on the paper provided before you label any locations. Do not worry about making a perfect copy of the map! Your task is to draw the map so that the countries and bodies of water are in the correct general location on the map. Making the country "look perfect" is not part of this assignment. Keep in mind that the map locations in these countries are areas that we study: Egypt, Sudan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Israel. It is highly recommended that you use the method show show below to divide your map into four quadrants. The diagram below is an example of the quadrant method that was described in class.
