4. Make up symbols for landmarks and places of interest. Draw the symbols on your map in the correct places.

Think about the most important places in your area—whether real or imaginary—and decide on a unique icon for each. Here are some steps and ideas to help you complete this task: 1. Identify Landmarks and Places of Interest:  • List places you want on your map, like a library, park, museum, café, or even a secret hideout.  • Choose a few key spots that define your map. 2. Invent Unique Symbols:  • For each place, design a simple drawing that represents it. For example:   – For a library, you might draw an open book or a stack of books.   – For a park, a tree icon or a picnic blanket could work.   – For a museum, perhaps a classical column or an art palette.   – For a café, consider a coffee cup or steaming mug.  • Keep the symbols simple and recognizable. 3. Draw the Symbols on Your Map:  • Look at your map’s layout and decide where each landmark belongs. For instance, if your park is located near the center, draw its tree symbol there.  • Use your chosen symbols to mark the spots correctly. The idea is that anyone reading your map should quickly know what each symbol means. 4. Add a Legend:  • In a corner of your map, include a small key or legend that explains what each symbol stands for. This will help others (or even you later) understand the map more easily. Remember, the point is to be creative—there’s no “wrong” symbol as long as it clearly represents your landmark or place of interest. Enjoy making your map uniquely yours!
