This learning resource guides students in creating a functional community map that highlights various important locations within a community and illustrates their spatial relationships. The objective is for students to develop a map that includes 12 specific community locations, such as a bank, school, grocery store, and others, using appropriate symbols. The document emphasizes the essential elements of a good map, including a descriptive title, compass rose, and a legend explaining the symbols used. It introduces the concept of spatial relationships, encouraging students to think about how different locations relate to one another within their community. The resource includes a planning worksheet for students to sketch their map layout, create unique symbols for each location, and consider the pathways and roads connecting these locations. Finally, there is a checklist and self-assessment rubric to help students ensure their maps meet the outlined criteria.
