TASKS

• Your task is to "map the space." Answer these questions to help you visualize:
• What and where is this place?
• What is it used for?
• How big is it?
• What grabs your attention?
• How are the streets laid out? What do the houses look like?
• What kinds of things do you see?
• Are there a lot of trees and flowers?
• How do people use the space?
• What does their appearance indicate about the space?
• What activities do you see?
• What do you hear people say?
• Do any overall themes emerge?

Draw a diagram of the space being observed. Sketch rooms, objects, streets, houses, plants and flowers, material culture, people, cars—anything that provides a sense of place.
