Description
1. For this assignment, each student
will describe one’s community and how one fits into that community.
2. The assignment will be presented
in the form of a written report with inserted maps, graphs, pictures, and
attachments of other sorts.
3. Begin by having the students
create or obtain a map of the area in which they would conduct their daily and
weekly affairs. The teacher may want the students to practise map making skills
by having the students draw their own maps on graph paper or freehand, or the
teacher may have the students research and obtain a map of their communities to
be included in the report. Either method has its advantages
4. Once the map of the community
has been established, have each student mark the places on the map that might
be visited on a daily or a weekly basis. These places should be labelled right
on the map.
5. Using different colours for
each, have the students identify the following by labeling them on their
community maps: emergency services, conveniences, neighbours, businesses,
volunteer opportunities, recreational facilities, community supports,
educational institutions, medical facilities, transportation, etc. Note that
some of the places may be labelled in a couple of different colours.
6. Once all of the different areas
in the community have been established and labelled, have the students travel
around to those areas in the community and collect information about them, as
well as any statistical information that they can find. Statistical information
may be things such as: area population, ages of the population, income,
education of the population, etc. This may be done by interview, pamphlet,
prior knowledge, etc.
7. The students may also want to
take or obtain pictures of different areas in their community to include in the
report.
8. Once all the information has
been collected and organized, have the students write their reports about their
communities. The report should include the role seen played by the student in
the community. What responsibilities does the student see as one’s to the
community?
9. When the students submit their
final copies, they should include a title page, page numbers and a bibliography
of sources
10. Each student will work
individually on this assignment.
