Today in class we were Orienting Ourselves
We took a map and deciphered it we were asked what about it was wrong and what about it was right
Using what we did to figure it out was called mental maps
The teacher told us that "Mental maps provide people with essential means of making sense of the world and of storing and recalling information about the patterns of Earth’s physical and human features. These maps represent ever-changing summaries of spatial knowledge and are indicators of how well people know the spatial characteristics of places. We develop and refine our mental maps through learning from teachers and the media and through personal experience, moving from simple to more complex levels of completeness and accuracy, continuing to add layers of information so that our mental maps reflect a growing understanding of a changing world. As people read, hear, observe, and think more about the world around them, they add more detail and structure to their mental maps and accumulate layers of information that can be used in problem solving and decision making. Students must understand the role that perception plays in the creation and development of their understandings of the world."
We were also told that Every person has their own unique understanding of locations
After these topic were finished being taught we were told to complete a activity, a mental mapping activity. this activity gave us a better understanding of the days topic.
