(Your map should be better than mine!)
Name: Mod: Due Date: Title: Our First Map Our First Map Throughout
the year, we will be making many maps of locations throughout the world.
Obviously, cartographers – map makers – have to be exact, careful,
and precise in their attempts to represent the world on paper and in scale
models. We have a lot of work to do
in developing those skills. For
our first mapping assignments we will not need (all of) those skills.
We will need our imaginations
and the ability to tell a story with a “map”.
I want us to create models or representations of something unique to each
of us. You have seen in the packets
how varied and, perhaps, strange maps can be. Using
any materials you would like, your task is to create a map of ANYTHING you would
like. Imagine that!? ·
You could map your route to school
and include the exact number of steps or pedals it takes you.
·
You could map the places in your
room you keep your favorite things. ·
You could map the locations around
your neighborhood where significant things have happened throughout your life.
·
You could map the stains on your
favorite t-shirt or rips in favorite jeans.
·
You could trace your shoes and
include in the places you have been on the inside of the shape, and the places
you want to go on the outside of the shape.
·
You can map the way you feel at
different points in the day. Imagine
that?! You can seriously do
whatever you want but you have to follow the guidelines of the rubric if you
want to get a decent grade. You will
be graded on neatness, self-expression, effort and use of geographic elements.
All maps must have a title! ·

Marked and Labeled Points Remember: Making
maps will get harder and involve exact measurements, perfect labeling, and
multiple revisions. This is an opportunity to start strong and have fun!
