World History Assignment #1 - Mesoamerica Map

Take a look at this map.  If you missed class today, here it is!!  I have a limited number of extras available in class, but if I am out feel free to print it out from here.  

Today will be the only day that we will work on it in class.  Monday we will finish talking about the Aztec and Inca's civilizations.  The map is due on Tuesday, February 4, 2014.  If you complete it after that, it will be up to you to get it to me, I will not be asking for it.  I would also recommend that you complete the Assignment Sheet for your binder.  If you need another one of those, they are available HERE.

Have a binder with FIVE sections:
