Google Document and Google Map

Good afternoon Group,
I am working on adding to the shared Google Document as well as starting the Google Map. I think the main focus with the Google Map is the comparing and contrasting the regions. Southwest Michigan is near Lake Michigan while Australia is near/surrounded by the Indian Ocean. How will the ocean water and freshwater affect their weather? How will the different hemispheres affect the weather? It is February and Michigan it is in the middle of winter while across the world the weather in Australia is summer. The amount of precipation will vary greatly due to these differences.

Update: Google Map. I think I need to make two separate Google Maps for the assignment because the fifth grade students in southwest Michigan will be going on a trip while the fifth grade students in Perth, Australia (southwest Australia) will both be going on trips. I am sending a collaboration request for the Michigan map right now. The Australia map will be following soon.

Thanks, Rick
