"I think the only problem we had (the first time) was finding/figuring out the right paper to use for our final maps. Otherwise, everything was clear and engaging and students had fun creating the requirements to add to their maps. Makes for a nice hallway display too!"

Printing Notes:

While I recommend printing in color and laminating materials for future use, it is not necessary. These materials print just fine in grayscale. I would suggest printing "as image" to avoid any potential issues. Additionally, download the resource to your computer, open it, and then print. Printing from your browser often creates problems.
