PREPARATION
- Gather graph paper, rulers, pencils/pens, and construction paper if you don’t have Internet access. If students will create poster-sized displays of their life maps, you will also need supplies such as tag board, poster paper, construction paper, colored markers, and crayons.
- Prepare enough copies of the Graphic Map Pictures, Graphic Life Map Planning Sheet, and (if desired) Rubric Graphic Life Map handouts for each of your students.
- For additional resources see the Graphing Your Life page.
- Test the Graphic Map interactive on your computers to familiarize yourself with the tool and ensure that you have the Flash plug-in installed. You can download the plug-in from the technical support page.
