This activity will introduce you to WHP’s map activities. Maps are a great way to show information about our world. They let you know where stuff is in relation to other stuff. They can help orient you in time and space and identify some important historical changes. But maps are also one more way to tell a story. You’re probably not super familiar with the geography of 1200 CE, so we won’t ask you to draw any historical maps...yet. Instead, in this first activity, you’ll get familiar with WHP mapping activities by completing a scavenger hunt—a map of your personal world!
