Mississippi

The Drummer Boy Of Vicksburg

by G. Clifton Wisler


Okay, it is time to get out your colored pencils. Your project for Mississippi is to draw a map of the Gulf of Mexico. Using an 11" x 18" sheet of paper, you are to draw the gulf as accurately as you can. You may use any resources you wish to help you complete the project. The library is a great place to start. Included in your map must be the following:


Florida
Alabama
Mississippi
Texas
Mexico
Yucatan Peninsula
Cuba
Jamaica
Mississippi River Delta
Rio Grande River
New Orleans
Key West
Mobile
Houston


You may add any other information that you wish. Be neat. Remember spelling and location must be accurate. Hand in the map when you are done.
