Greg: What are you doing with that map and that globe?



Julianna: I’m trying to keep track of Carmen as she travels from country to country. I just got another postcard from her today.



Greg: I’m not sure I like the idea of my daughter traveling around the world with a group of people for three months. It’s not safe.



Julianna: She can take care of herself. You know she’s the adventurous 1 type. Give her a compass and she can find her way around anywhere. Help me find Nauru on this map. I don’t even know what continent it’s on. I was never any good at geography.



Greg: All right. You look above the equator 2 and I’ll look below it, but couldn’t you just look it up on the Internet? It would be easy to find the latitude 3 and longitude 4 of this place.



Julianna: This is more fun. I sort of feel like I’m on an adventure myself.



Greg: I can’t make heads or tails of this map. It’s not to scale and this legend is all wrong!



Julianna: It doesn’t matter. We just need to find the place name, and then I can put a pin in this map showing where’s she’s been.



Greg: I have a better idea. I’ll look it up on the Internet and get you all of the vital statistics 5 you’d want, like its location, okay?



Julianna: Forget it. Sometimes it’s more fun doing things the hard way.
