Map Homework

To begin our new planner on “Where we are in Time and Place,” we will be construct a map for homework this week! I know we could all use a bit of a break from our usual homework routine and since we had such a positive response to our family project constructing our circuses during our art planner...here ya go!

Our central idea for this planner is pictures and symbols help people make sense of the world around them. Last week I introduced direction, the compass rose, and map keys.

First, decide if you want to draw (and color) a map of your bedroom, house, street, block, or neighborhood. I will need to also see a compass rose and a map key describing what is on your map. You may use any size paper or poster board for this project.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. Have fun!
