There can be many different maps of the same place. A map cannot show everything about a place. For a map to communicate clearly, it must show a limited number of things. In this activity, you will get to make a map that shows the things that make your community a special place to live. Maps are made for different reasons.
Different maps show different information.
Pirates used maps to find buried treasure. Maps also show the characteristics and features of a place which make it unique and different from other places. Another feature a lot of maps have in common is that they show distances between things. Include places and things on your map that you feel make your community a special place to live. Show the roads or pathways you use to get to these places.
