Homework: 10/17

For THURSDAY, please complete the "Life Mapping" activity. The details are as follows:

Life Mapping

Your assignment is to create a visual representation of your life so far. First, you need to select a visual metaphor to show movement through life. Students in the past have visualized road maps, football fields, sailing journeys, game boards, etc. on which they track their experiences.

Your “landmark” experiences – important life-changing moments – also need to be depicted using visual graphics. These graphics could be “snapshots” of the moment, icons, or symbols. Just be sure to explain the significance of your visual graphics.

You need to have a minimum of eight different moments on your life-map. Of these eight, you will choose the five most important life-changing moments to explain in more detail. You may use the sheet of paper you were given in class.

Be sure to focus on specific moments in your life – not entire years, events, etc!
