HW #1: Personal Maps

1. Using 3 different colors, organize your map of Brooklyn into the following categories:

FAMILIAR – you feel you know this neighborhood well, for example, you live there or have lived there, or, you spend a lot of your time hanging out there. You are able to give directions, and recommendations of where to eat, shop etc.

AQUAINTED – you know the neighborhood pretty well because you have spent some time there, but you still don’t necessarily know the best places to go, or, where everything is. You can probably give directions, and suggest a place to eat, but maybe not the best recommendations.

VISITED – you have been to this neighborhood and have a sense of what it looks like, but that’s about it.


2. Make a map key that shows which color means which category.


3. Be prepared to discuss your map with your classmates in class tomorrow.
