Political Maps LITERACY · 9TH GRADE Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. A political map shows human divisions: countries, states, counties, and their capitals and major cities. Colours have no meaning beyond keeping neighbours distinguishable, which is a common source of confusion for readers used to physical maps. Political maps date quickly, since borders change through independence, war, and agreement, and a map printed in 1990 shows a Europe that no longer exists. Some borders are disputed, and different countries publish different maps of the same region, so a political map always reflects a point of view as well as a set of facts. Checking the publication date and the publisher is part of reading one properly. Questions: 1 What do the colours on a political map mean? 2 Why do political maps date quickly? 3 Why does a political map reflect a point of view? www.littleactivity.com 9th Grade · Literacy
