Educational map-making activity for students, including cut-out symbols, design brainstorming, and a printable map template.

This assignment asks you to design your own map. Since there is no single "correct" answer (because it is a creative project), I will guide you through the steps to complete the worksheets shown in the materials.

Here is how to solve each part of the task:

Step 1: Map Design Brainstorm

Look at the worksheet titled "Map Design Brainstorm." You need to fill in the three boxes with ideas for your city. Here are some examples you can write or draw:

* What types of buildings could be shown on a map?
* School
* Hospital
* Library
* Fire Station
* Grocery Store
* Park
* What natural land features could be included on a map?
* River
* Lake
* Mountain
* Forest (trees)
* Ocean
* What man-made features would be included on a map?
* Roads / Streets
* Bridge
* Railroad tracks
* Parking lot

Step 2: Create Your Map

Now, look at the large green paper titled "Create a Map" and the "Map Symbol Cut Outs."

1. Plan it out: Use your brainstorming list to decide what you want in your city.
2. Cut and Paste: Cut out the symbols (like the school, restaurant, trees, and water) from the "Map Symbol Cut Outs" sheet.
3. Glue them down: Arrange them on the green map background. Make sure roads connect the buildings!
4. Add a Key: If you add something that isn't already on the "Map Key" provided, draw your own symbol for it and explain what it means.

Final Answer

There is no single correct answer because this is a creative design task. To complete the homework, you must:
1. Fill out the Brainstorm sheet with at least one idea for buildings, natural features, and man-made features.
2. Assemble the Map by cutting out the provided symbols and gluing them onto the green map template to create a city layout.
