Odblog: Mime-mapping
Mime-mapping
Categories:s1 and s2, Geography GeneralHad a very frustrating time. Recorded a screencast of how to use scribblemaps and was blethering away quite the thing without realising I had no audio turned on. Sorry, will try to redo this but, for tomorrow, I'm putting the silent movie here to help s1 with their own maps:A reminder of the home exercise now. I'd like you to create your own maps to see how much you remember from the mind mapping exercise. Use the scribble, shape and/or line tools to map the following:
- An area of rainforest in Brazil
- The tropic of capricorn
- The equator
- The Caatinga
Use the text tool to tell me what the shapes/ lines are. Now, use the placemark tool to add these:
- Rio de Janeiro
- Sao Paulo
- Belo Horizonte
Draw connecting lines to form a triangle between the three and use the text tool to call it 'The Golden Triangle'. Add further placemarks to show me:
- The only major city in the rainforest
- Recife
- Salvador
Feel free to add images to show me more of these locations. Now, from Rio, draw three lines of different colour to other countries showing places where people have moved from in the past to come to Brazil.
Finally, add in text at least two other features of the memory map. This could be a famous landmark, natural attraction, anything at all. Good luck!
