Roadmap of Your Life

August 9th, 2016 by caromero

(Completed map due: 8/11)

Objectives:
1. To recall significant events from one’s life that shaped the person you are today.
2. To provide a resource for students to use as they move through this course

You will construct a roadmap of the significant events of your life. Your creation will be a graphic representation of important events, people and places in your life.

Follow this procedure:
1. Brainstorm significant events in your life. These can be happy memories, sad memories, scary memories, important places or people, life changing events – you choose what is important to you.
2. Choose up to 15 memories (but no less that 12) and arrange your memories in chronological order (by the years in which they occurred).
3. Draw a graphic representation or symbol for each memory.
4. Using markers, crayons, or colored pencils, draw a graphic or other symbol for each event. (Example – symbol of birth could be a stork or baby; divorce could be two stick people with a lightning strike down the middle.)
5. Connect the events with a two-lane road or highway

Grading: You will be graded on neatness, attention to detail, and care put into the hand-drawn, colored map.

Some ideas to consider:
• moves you have made—from one house to another or one school district to another
• friends you have made
• grandparents who have died
• pets
• the birth of brothers and sisters
• a time when you got hurt
• a time when you won something
• a special birthday
• a divorce in the family
• a time when you did something embarrassing
• an unexpected death in the family or in the neighborhood
• the day you fell in love with somebody
• the day you fell out of love with somebody
• something that happened to you during a sport or a game
• anything else that is meaningful to you that you want to share
