Lab 6: Geography

This lab may be completed at any time; however, it involves the location of early sites, states and empires, and the location of their modern nations, from Unit 3. The countries can be labeled by looking at any modern political map; one online atlas can be found at http://www.sitesatlas.com/Atlas/PolAtlas/ ; click on "Map Collection" for maps of continents. For the matching section it may be necessary to finish all readings in text and lessons (and look at all maps and links to maps) before submission.

Due: See Schedule
