Map Brainstorm

Come together in a group of 2 or 3 students for an online whiteboard discussion.

For the discussion, please keep the following aspects in mind:

  • After welcoming each other, make an agreement on who is loading the attached file into your workspace.
  • Take a minute to get a first impression of the topic’s content.
  • Then start to clarify each other’s impressions. Allow at least 10 minutes for this communication part. Keep objective!

You have to make a map of the population’s density in Europe for the year 2002. This map will be included in a schoolbook for 9-10 year old children. Find an answer to the following questions:

  • What exactly do you want to show with this map, and by which means?
  • What are the sequential steps you will follow?
  • Optional question: Draw a very simple preliminary sketch of your map.

Your course leader will give you further information about the exercise presentation and the according time/deadline.
