MENTAL MAPPING

Today we learned about daily routines and routes we take in our day to day lives. Mr. Schick told us how a mental map works and how it is supposed to be made and used. A mental map is someones view of a specific place. This helps us to get the general position of a place we need to go to. Mr. Schick also told us that we should not have a stereotypical view of a place because of what we have heard or seen on TV. He gave the example of the French people who Americans think are very rude but in fact most usually try to be kind and helpful to tourists. At the end Mr. Schick told us to make a mental map of the world and our daily route to and from school. It was a difficult class for sure.
