Teacher maps

[KarenDV]

Hello,
I'm working on printing maps and I'm finding that some of the teacher's maps from the Map Aids CD are labeled and others are blank, as the student versions are (in fact, those files, despite the file label of "T", open up to maps labeled "Dialectic/Rhetoric Base Map. One example among several is Y1W1-FarEast-T.pdf).

So the question is, is this on purpose, or should the teacher versions be filled in?

Thanks for your help,
KarenDV

If I remember correctly, the base maps (found in Week 1) will be blank for student and teacher alike. You'll find the answers for each week's work in the teacher maps for each separate week plan. Base maps at the D and R level for week 1 are to be used for the transparency project. (I didn't use them at all as we didn't attempt the transparency project this past year. We just used paper maps each week.)
I hope that made sense.

Thanks, Michelle!
To others who have done / are doing the transparency project, though:
I'm still a little confused. In week one, we are to work on labeling the basic landforms and such for ALL those maps? Otherwise why are they all in week 1?
Peace,

Hi Karen,
If you'd like, assign the labels in week 1 over the course of two or more weeks. The purpose of them all being in the first week is simply review of basic world landforms. Be assured that over the course of using Tapestry, he will get these many times over. With that in mind, assign only the ones you want your student to review, if you'd like.

Regarding seeing some blank maps in week 1, that is peculiar only to that week. In future versions of the CD, we took the base maps out of the teacher column because it did seem to present some confusion.

Hope this helps...
