Look:
Take a look at the maps below, what do they have in common? How do they differ? Do these maps follow the cartographic conventions? Fairytale Maps Google Maps Gaming Maps Discuss: Discuss what elements do maps have and what do countries need? What are the cartographic conventions, and how do they help our mapping skills? Write these down in your books. Demonstration: Let's create our own country together. In groups, create smaller sections of the map - can you accurately add in all the necessary elements of the map? Next Lesson: Next week, you will be creating your own gaming map. |
