Students need to complete a few different components when creating the map for their civilization project. Check out Heidi’s Map Considerations below.
Map Considerations
By Heidi A.
When the students of Brufftopia were working on their landscape maps and capital cities for their civilization project that they are currently working on, they had a few needs:
- Important physical features in or nearby the city
- The city itself
- The people within the city (doing their jobs, shopping, etc.)
- Some special jobs in the civilization (or the building where the job is located)
- Examples of military, government, school, religion, and currency
- Language and/or writing (i.e. on signs, posters, billboards, thought bubbles, etc.)
- Examples of technology being used
Many people didn’t know that you have to put people on your map, so currently they are doing it to meet Mr. Bruff’s expectations. You also would want to have a clear, colorful map.
