Emoji Map

How it works

  1. Just like the image on this page, create a map of your school using sketches, photos or icons

  2. Pick 3 to 4 places around your school.

  3. Visit these locations and use your senses to experience the air around you. 

  4. Use you nose, how does it smell? Use your eyes, can you see smoke or is it clear? Use your touch, is it warm or cold? Windy or calm? 

  5. Find where you are on your map.

  6. Pick an appropriate emoji sticker to represent what your experienced such as bad smells, visible smoke or clean air. Stick these on your map at your identified location (note that you can have two stickers per location, if that's what you experienced).

  7. Take a photo of your map OR scan a copy of your map and upload it on seasaw blog.

  8. You could also record your observation for each location after every visit in your notebook.

  9. Repeat the above steps (1 to 8) at each location on several days.

  10. In the end, report if you can find a place around your school where you always reported the same thing?  

  11. By identifying landmarks where you see and smell smoke often, you might help us select a future ODIN site. So design a map of any area you would like to report on and feel free to expand this activity outside school!

We look forward to seeing your posts and photos on seesaw blog!
