Globe to Map Project 
Students will individually make a 3dimentional globe that they created from a card stock copy constructing the northern and southern hemispheres and connecting at the Equator. As a pair, they will choose the best to keep as a globe and use the other to dissect into a flat map using the "best" projection to identify specific locations.
