Create a separate Word document to respond to the narrative prompts and copy/paste your exported maps. Make sure that your maps are as large as possible without sacrificing quality, and include both in-text citations and a works cited page for any external resources. For your maps, just put the full citation directly below your map and don’t worry about also including it in your works cited. Use APA style for your in-text citations and works cited.
