This is a very simple assessment, but the kids find it to be very fun because they get to create their own map with their own places and design. Even better, it is easy to grade and I have included a grading checklist/rubric. I use it as a test to wrap up a mini-unit on geography in which map skills are learned. This could be used in any class in which you teach basic geography skills such as United States History, World History, Geography, or World Cultures.
