Tutorial 1 - Canadian Place Names
Tutorial 2 - Creating a Layout in Arcview.
When these tutorials are complete you are to produce a Political Map of Canada (Grade 9) or a Political map of Australia (Grade 12). These are summative activities which will focus on producing a good map layout.
In addition to your name and date in the bottom right hand corner of the map, all maps must include:
Title - An informative title to describe the map content.
Legend - The area of the map that lists and explains the colors, symbols, line patterns, shadings
North Arrow - A map element that indicates the north direction, relative to the map itself.
Neatline - A border drawn around the extent of the map.and annotation used on the map. The legend often includes the scale, origin, orientation and other map information.
Scale - The reduction needed to display a representation of the Earth's surface
on a map. A statement of a measure on the map and the equivalent measure
on the Earth's surface, often expressed as a representative fraction of distance,
such as 1:24,000 (one unit of distance on the map represents 24,000 of the
same units of distance on the Earth). Map scale can also be expressed
as a statement of equivalence using different units; for example,
1 inch = 1 mile or 1 inch = 2,000 feet. On a map, scale is shown
graphically using a scale bar.

When working in ArcView (ArcMap), there are number of other map elements that can also be included in a layout:
Tables – A layer’s attribute table.
Charts - A graph or chart, generated from your tabular data.
Pictures - Photographs and other image files.
Graphics and Other Text - Text, lines, points, and polygons.
