Missouri Mental Maps

1. Choose an area to work 

 

2. Briefly describe your main site and record the date and time of the observation

 

3. Make a sketch map (mental map) on that same page

 

4. Choose photo areas around your site

 

5. Take photos (include buildings, vegetation, etc..)

 

6. Mark sites on map where you took photos

 

7. Check clarity: Keep it simple

 

8. Decide: Do you want to re-sketch the sites later on another sheet? How can you use the photos?

 

9. Final: Do you want a legend and cardinal directions? Map Title? How do you want your map to look?

Goal:  Learn and/or review spatial thinking skills by sketching a map of your own section of your school (buildings and features of your site) to share with a partner class.
