Flow map

1941, Tomi’s life took a large change. The flow map goes in chronological order starting a year and a half later after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The flow map has 3 events for the middle, beginning, and end. First of all, the first block begins on page 7, a year and a half later after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The map says, “Tomi and Billy go and see his dad’s old boat”, and I added this into my map because I believe that this is one of the main aspects that drive Tomi into wanting to bring up his boat. The next box is also on page 7 and it is about Tomi remembering when the FBI came to his house and made him kill his father’s pigeons, and them taking away Grandpa Joji. I put this into the map because I believe that was a major turning point in his life because before the bombing he was happy but now he is killing what little memory he has of his father, while his grandpa is being taken away. The final box for the beginning is on page 12 and is about Tomi thinking about bringing up his father’s boat, and I added this because it shows how he started when he was thinking about bringing…

There are many visual maps or thinking maps that can help language learners organize their thoughts. There are several types of thinking maps that learners can use: circle map, flow map, double bubble map, tree map, brace, multi-flow map, and bridge map. These thinking maps can be useful not only for writing purposes but for math, science, and social studies as well. “Apply across all subjects and grade-levels.” (“Lacfstars”) In math class, a learner can use a graphic organizer when going over…

In the article entitled “Map It Then Write It!” by Kimberly Lott and Sylvia Read, I learned a lot about how beneficial mapping can be before a student begins to write about a certain topic. “Primary students have many options for graphic organizers to help develop writing skills in science” (Lott and Read, 46). This quote from the article really seems to sum up what the article was about because children have so many opportunities to use mapping to make their writing better, especially since…

Cosmography is the study of the known world and its place in the cosmos. This study played a significant role in our understanding of how the New World was discovered. In 1506, two men by the names of Matthias Ringmann and Martin Waldseemüller, collaborated together on a magnificent map that depicted something no one had ever seen before. Through the descriptive letters from a Florentine merchant, Amerigo Vespucci, Ringmann and Waldseemüller were able to formulate a textbook titled, Introduction…

The main focus of education in Flatland is polygon recognition. When looking at another polygon in Flatland, they all look like lines. However, in early childhood, everyone learns how to feel one another’s angles in order to determine what type of polygon one is. Yet, with further education, it is possible to detect the type of polygon through sight recognition. In Flatland, there are two main variables that determine the route of one’s education; gender and social status. If one is male, they…

Introduction There are many situations where maps come in handy because there are many forms of maps. There are maps that express ideas, maps that explain how to complete a task and maps that are small-scale representations of a large area or location that is difficult to navigate. This small representation is to help the user find their way around the area or location. This document proposes a reevaluation of the usefulness and accessibility of the maps that are on the University of Houston…

Ken Jennings’ Maphead narrates his lifelong love affair with geography and explores why maps have always been so interesting to him and to fellow fans everywhere. Jennings takes readers on a world tour of geogeeks from the London Map Fair to the bowels of the Library of Congress, from the prepubescent geniuses at the National Geographic Bee to the computer programmers at Google Earth. Each chapter delves into a different aspect of map culture: highpointing, geocaching, road atlas rallying, even…

of maps because it helps us explain what goes on, on the Earth, see what the Earth will be like in the future, and research why the earth does things the way it does. Maps help us explain the weather, the patterns in geology, and other miscellaneous facts. They also help us see what we need to wear, and prepare for like tornados or hurricanes, even earthquakes.
