15 land forms
and 5 natural resources
Aside from these conditions you can do what ever you want with the map. Make it as big or as small as you want. It can be colorful or black and white, as long as it is neat and clear I don't care.
Part II - Write a minimum three paragraph essay, ad or brochure about you new land. The purpose of the ad is to lure new colonists (settlers) to your continent. Write about all the great land forms and natural resources available to the new colonists. Feel free to lie about how easy life in your new land will be! Don't worry its OK, Lief Erickson did it too.

Extra Credit: In your own words! Who was Lief Erickson and how did he lie. One paragraph will get you 5 points on a quiz or 2 points on a test. Earn 10 points on a quiz by creating a poster about Lief and his lie.
