Making and using maps with mixed-media!
EY–KS2 Anthony Barlow, Senior Lecturer in Primary
Geography, University of Roehampton
Welcome to the GA Conference 2012
Do you think you know what a map is? Think again! Encourage thinking skills by using a range of different techniques, including ICT, to help pupils re-tell real, imagined and fantasy journeys.
You will make your own talk string or journey stick and see how a range of 3D junk-art techniques can bring your local area to life!
What is a map? A map is a drawing or picture (in 2-D) of a landscape or area of a country (in 3-D). (OS) ‘a picture or representation of the Earth's surface, showing how things are related to each other by distance, direction, and size.’ They are to help us get around and gain scale, perspective and an overview of a place. They are for using on a journey, thinking about or planning a journey, to imagine a journey or simply for their beauty! In schools we should promote talk about journeys, go on journeys, record journeys as well as understanding the ‘mechanics’ of reading adult maps.

What did we include? Miss out? Can you draw in some symbols for what we missed? Photos Anthony Barlow
Can you find these round the school!
Here are a sequence of cards – can you put them on a map and match them to a place? Photos Anthony Barlow
Journey sticks
Use a twig, masking tape or card. Photos Anthony Barlow
Journey talk strings for KS2 A journey talk string could be about your journey to get to a place. It can develop the ideas of the journey stick. www.naturedetectives.org.uk/NR/.../play_spring_journeystick.pdf http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/Teachers-TV-Journey-sticks-6048401/
Or could be a treasure hunt pattern one!

Using images: Local area talkboard
You could do this for your school/area you have explored at a much smaller scale.
Match with the aerial map What can you see?
What’s not included?
Images removed for copyright reasons – Image was a collection of images from a Google search or from a site such as Geograph, much like a collage.
Theme maps: What’s good,
what can be improved?

Create a detailed picture in Word. Use the Zoom function. Print screen to copy to clipboard. Paste into Powerpoint and put on consecutive pages.
Make a myriorama!

Good for storytelling, vocabulary and language development
Using video to support fieldwork and creative mapmaking
• Magical mapping – transform the everyday
Can you find each of the objects? What did I include? What did I miss out? Can you create the key? Can you make your own version of the map? Can you think of your own descriptions of an object? Can you draw a version of the map that has symbols to represent the different places?

What is 'Mywalks'? 'Mywalks' is about (re-)engaging with our immediate urban, day-to-day, city, country, local, taken-for-granted environments and geographies through the medium of photography and audiography.
