In this activity you will make a poster….of your life! First start with an outline of each year since you were born. Think of the most important event of each of those years, then a second, and then a third level of events that happened. Think of what you like most in life. Think of what your interests and hobbies are. Make a linear, circular or organic expression of the timeline of your life. Make peak points stand out. Make secondary and tertiary events smaller in font or photos. Connect events with lines, label each year, add photos, graphics, awards, favorite books, etc. Share your poster with a friend.

Celebrate the good times!

Choose a three dimensional real time activity that you do every day like brushing your teeth, walking your dog or answering the phone. Stop and analyze in detail each of the steps that you do to participate in this activity. Break the activity into the smallest possible moments and tasks. Using graphics- shapes, lines, arrows, numbers, letters of differing color, size and thickness - diagram the steps and label them 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. Without labeling your poster, ask someone to read your diagram. Is the activity understandable? Are the steps communicated?

Remember making footprints in the sand at the beach, or in freshly fallen snow? In this activity you will need a floor plan of your house showing all of the rooms. You should use colored lines to show where you walk when you get up in the morning, where you spend your afternoon, and your evening. Be sure to draw a line that follows all of your footsteps. Next create a key of other things that you do during this time. Some of the other things you might do include looking out the window, answering the phone, getting dressed, cooking food, eating, playing, and reading. Be sure to make a symbol for thinking and use it when you are thinking about something! Complete your map, part diagram, part floor plan, and part symbol chart. Wake up! Get out of bed! Brush your teeth! Get dressed! Get mapped!
