Homework for Nov 8th

Here is your assignment for tonight:

I would like you to draw a map of the school and its surrounding area (no more than 2km). 

The map does not need to be accurate—in fact, a 2-dimensional map of Earth’s curved surface will never be accurate.  Your maps should show relative spatial relationships rather than exact distances.  For example, a post office that is four blocks away from the school should be farther away from the school on the map than a park that is two blocks away.

On the map you should clearly label things that are important to you and/or that they think are important to the community. 

Do NOT color this map.  Draw this map on A4 paper.


Be ready to explain tomorrow -

What you think should be included in a sustainable community?

How sustainable do you consider the community surrounding our school?

Use the map below to help you draw your map.  Remember, this map does not have to be to scale.  I don't want you to spend over an hour on this tonight! 

Stay tuned for a summary of the information that we came up with today in class...

  1. Excuse me Mr. Blake, for the second map that we are doing in groups, do we have to color it?
