Present the map and your explanation to the class.
Your map must have the following:
- Title/ Description
- The description should be urban, suburban, or rural, depending on your community
- 3 Points of Interest that show what type of community it is
- For example, if you live in a rural community, one of your points can be a farm. If you live in an urban community, one of your points can be a skyscraper or apartment building and if your community is suburban, one of your points may be a housing development or shopping center.
- 2 additional points of interest important to the culture of the community
- directions to the 2 points important to the culture of the community
- the map should show directions connecting the 2 points either by foot or by car
This is a screenshot of a finished map. Please note the description includes the type of community and 3 layers showing different aspects of the community (culture, suburban, directions).
