=Understanding(s)= //(Copy and paste the big understanding(s) you have listed in your unit for Dr. Grace. What are the academic goals for the unit (which will also be the purpose of the WebQuest).)//

=Introduction= //Breaking News!// //Sources from Channel 6 news have reported that Spanish terrorists have blown up parts of the Muesum of the Americas. Police say the motive of the terrorists was to destroy everything having to do with North America, and more specially the United States. When asked about the situation, Police Chief Hernandez said// "La intención era que los criminales artefactos daños que participan a los Estados Unidos"( //"It seems as though the plan for the criminals was to damage history relating to the United States")//

=Task=

You are an aspiring cartographer who is trying to leave their mark in the cartography field. One day you stumble upon a contest in a magazine sponsored by the Museum of the Americas in Madrid, Spain. The contest includes making a map of the expanding U.S. Nation (1820-1850) for a new exhibit. The judges will pick the top three maps and those participants get flown out to Spain for the opening of the exhibit and a summer internship in Spain with the Museum of the Americas.

=Conclusion= //How was it trying to make your own map? Was it hard to find exact locations or show different geographic features? Now imagine that you don't have a laptop to use or other maps to look at. Early map making was tedious and hard work, with a lot of guessing, however many explorers used those maps to find newly discovered lands.//
