Questions to think about (on separate sheet): - What if you created a map with only words, how would you go about doing that?
- How might you “map” your neighborhood in a creative way?
-How would you redesign a subway/CTA map?
-Explain what your map of an imaginary world/city/country would look like?
- How would your map look if it were 3-D? What materials would you use?
