Use symbols to show real objects and places-like little pictures. You can also use lots of colors to make interesting symbols. Add each symbol you use to your legend. And think carefully where you really want everything to be. Students may even make up a story about the island-about how they and maybe some friends got there and what they did there.
Students can also create a journal about their adventures.
They should remember that their maps could help somebody find them. As artists, we want to be accurate in portraying things. By using their skill and creativity together, students can make an accurate map of their island. Exhibition Suggestion Create a festive presentation occasion featuring products and letting all the students present their maps and read excerpts from their journals. Laminate the maps and have students use them as placemats.
