creating a map

Following our discussion of the different ways people have presented space and the world around them, you as an individual and outside of class are to create a map of your own and write a short 1-2 paragraph explanation of it. This explanation should include such information as what you have presented, why it is important, how you have arranged it and why. Based on the information on the map itself and with the explanation, any reader should be able to follow the map.

Your maps can be constructed in any fashion (by hand, on the computer), be made out of any media (pencil, crayon, printer ink), and can convey anything. What’s important is that you’re creating a map that has meaning and that you then fully present that meaning in the written explanation.
