- Draw a line from the star in Plymouth, England to the star in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
- Draw a small ship icon (a simple triangle with a mast and sail) along the line you drew, placing it roughly halfway across the Atlantic Ocean.
- Use the atlas to label:
- Atlantic Ocean: Write this label over the large body of water between Europe and North America.
- Europe: Write this label over the landmass on the right side of the map, where the starting star is located.
- Africa: Write this label over the landmass south of Europe.
- North America: Write this label over the landmass on the left side of the map, where the ending star is located.
- Plymouth, England: Write this label next to the star on the European coast.
- Plymouth, Massachusetts: Write this label next to the star on the North American coast.
- Color all land areas (Europe, Africa, North America) brown or green. Color all water areas (Atlantic Ocean) blue.
