Original Prompt

Create a 7th-grade geography worksheet for a wrap-up on map skills. The focus should be entirely on map analysis and interpretation practice, including different types of maps (political, physical, and thematic) followed by sets of analytical questions for students to answer.

This learning resource, titled 'Mastering Map Analysis: A Geographic Toolkit,' aims to enhance students' understanding and skills in map analysis. The worksheet covers the three primary types of maps: Political, Physical, and Thematic. Political maps are highlighted for their focus on human-made boundaries and features, while physical maps emphasize the natural landscape's elevation and geographical features. Thematic maps are introduced for their utility in visualizing specific data related to themes like population density or economic resources. Throughout the document, students engage with exercises that involve identifying key features, extracting information, and analyzing relationships in maps, thereby fostering critical thinking and data literacy skills in geographical contexts.
