Complete fold notes Begin work on class room team project of large U.S. map. Co-operative Group Activity The creation of the US Map is an in-class activity that will be shared by four different groups; construction workers, cartographers, artists, and data collectors. Your individual group assignment is stated at the top of the page. Collaboration is a big part of this activity and asking for help and giving help is expected. Your group will begin by first reading the checklist below, then electing a team leader and lastly, assigning duties to team members that will ultimately lead to completing the group task. Remember, your team focus is just one piece to the big puzzle—US Map. Accuracy is important. If your team provides incorrect information or does not collaborate effectively with another team, the completed class map will be inaccurate and the errors will reflect on the final class grade. You will receive a class grade and an individual grade for this activity. Part 2: Teams will be completing their work at different times based on their assignments.
