Reflection
This piece of map is a hand-drawn one that shows the layout of Ekamai International School and its surroundings. We were not allowed to open any maps as references, but are told to draw out according to the mental map we have in our brains. This, in turn, became the best thing about this work. I realized how familiar I am with the area I go fro and back for the past 10 years; the power of mental mapping is amazing.
The most significant thing I learned from doing this activity is actually teamwork. This work was initially due by the end of the period, and so my partner and I were in a hurry to complete it the best we could without making major mistakes. We were very considerate of each other’s opinions about where a certain shop or school facility should be, and we divided the drawing and coloring tasks really well.
Although we received a wonderful score on this work, I would not have thought we actually would, because there are still a lot of inaccuracies throughout the map. If I were to do this work again, I would definitely want to spend more time on it and put in more details so as to improve the accuracy.
By doing this work, I realized that although I thought I was quite confident with the areas surrounding my school, I still found out many inaccuracies while travelling through those areas the next day. So, I would like to learn more about how to remember places accurately and express them clearly in words or visual presentations.
