Attention !Creative parents! I need help with my daughters class project??
Answer:
I would draw a very basic outline of the US. Then draw the valley as long an elongated M shape on another sheet of paper. color it in nicely and then cut and glue it geographically near Napa Valley. I would draw a long snake like blue river and place that where the Mississippi is. I would draw Lake Superior, cut that out and place near the great lakes. For Mountain, I would make tall pointed M's and color them nice with snowy tops and place them near a tall mountain range like the adirondaks, the Island would obviously be Hawaii and glued right to the lower left of cali. The Peninsula would be Florida.
So have a basic black and white outline of the US but have all of the above mentioned drawn and colored on another sheet of paper, made it bright bold colors and then cut and pasted on the plain map and labeled geographically correct. You can look right online or the back of her text book for the map and the location of the above mentioned. It sounds like fun.
well, what i would do is cut our a rectange and draw a valley or cut the top of one out of the paper to show that there would be a valley. Then you can glue it on the project. Hope this helps!
I would draw the valley in connection with a mountain rage. In CA LA is in between a huge mtn. range.
Go to the library make copies of the valley, river etc have her cut those out , trace them then cut them out again then glue to her outline .
Draw 2 cliffs and the valley down in between them. Put some grass and flowers at the bottom and make the cliffs brown so you can tell which part is the valley.
try drawing the grand cannon with streams of water. those are also considered valleys.good luck
If you see a map showing the land topography, there are various colors to show the altitude above see level. You can use these colors to show a valley on a paper and place it on the map
You could use tissue paper to show the different heights? or fabric? also try using different things around the kitchen, colored noodles? tan / green different colored beans? hope this helps!
You might want to ask the teacher if you can see an example. This link might help. It shows maps (not North Am.) that may be helpful.
The map of the U.S. put mountains in Colorado, rivers in Mississippi, and lakes around Michigan.
Draw it as a side view ^---^... see.. two hills and a flat land between.
Well when you glue the mountains on the area in between would be the valley. I would just label the space in between the valley and leave it as that.
The point of this assignment is probably for her to learn basic geography and where major monuments are in the US. If I were her, I would make a long strip of blue for the river and glue it over where the Mississippi River is, make a circle of blue and put it where the Great Salt Lake is in Utah; make a bunch of triangles out of brown paper and put them in Colorado for the Rockies, cut out a shape like Florida out of another color (yellow perhaps) and put it over where Florida is for the peninsula, cut green circles out for islands and put them where Hawaii is, and then cut two brown strips out and put them in Arizona for the Grand Canyon.
