Day 3: The geography of home

1) Scavenger Hunt: 

Based on our discussion yesterday, your task is to circulate the school in search of three (3) things which connect to this course.

You may wish to take a photo of the item.

You will present your findings to your peers.

Please provide a brief description of the photo, and a brief analysis of how it is related to geography.

2) Mapping Activity:  (worksheet)

A) Sample map of Oakville: maps.oakville.ca

Discussion:

What elements need to be included in a map?
How do we effectively label a map?


B) Draw a map of your community from memory.

Think about: transportation (walking, bike lanes, roads), community buildings, stores, lakes, rivers, streams, hills, forests, etc.


Discussion: 

What different geographical elements are reflected on your maps?
