Part 1: Mapping Your Mind



	BE A CITY PLANNER You are getting ready to make a map. Before you begin, think about the same things that city planners think about when they help to plan the city. Where should different land uses go? Should houses be next door to a factory where things are made? How will people get from their home to work, to stores, or to school? How can I find out what people want in their neighborhood? WHAT IS A MAP? A map is a picture of what your neighborhood would look like from the air. People who draw maps are called "cartographers". A map should include a legend to identify the symbols drawn on the map.

	DIRECTIONS: Use Worksheet 1 to draw a map of your neighborhood.
