PMB STEP 5b: Map Project (Your New Neighborhood)

OVERVIEW
Students should learn the basics about finding their first job based on the college or training they chose. Make sure that they understand that their first job may be in the field they chose, but not necessarily the position they see themselves in to start off with. That will lead to them choosing a place to live and then understanding the community they are a part of. Students will continue to work on their Personal Monthly Budget Project by creating a map of their new neighborhood and locating businesses, organizations, and stores with basic needs and other necessities that will make their new home more comfortable.

OBJECTIVE(S) / (SWBAT)
Participate in-class discussions about different places that might be needed in your new neighborhood.

Digital MAP Project

NOTE: Until Tech Freire allows students to use Google Maps (My Maps) Application, please just create a list of the locations below on your PMB Google Document Worksheet for Step 5!  You may also create an account on Microsoft and use BING MAPS to create a map.

Today you will be creating a GOOGLE MAP of your new home and work area. Please sign in to GMAIL and then follow Google site to Google Maps. Below is a link to a sample map that I created for myself. It assumes that my first job out of college was teaching here. I located our school, a local apartment, and I saved the route I take to work (use Get Directions and save the result to your map). I also included most of the information that you will have to find for yourself. 

See my example BING MAP at the following link:  https://www.bing.com/maps?&cp=39.978385~-75.161032&lvl=15&osid=e9c799c2-052e-4b92-9a3e-73ccae890b94&v=2&sV=2&form=S00027

Once you have looked at my map, your assignment today is to CREATE your own Digital  Map that includes the following items:

WORK LOCATION

HOME (APARTMENT) LOCATION

ROUTE YOU TAKE TO WORK

You must also include the following:
GROCERY
SHOPPING MALL/CENTER
LAUNDRY/DRY CLEANER
COFFEE SHOP
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION (Closest Bus or Train)
CLOSEST MAJOR AIRPORT (In case you need to fly home to Philly)
HOSPITAL
DOCTOR'S OFFICE
DENTIST'S OFFICE
CHURCH/PLACE OF WORSHIP (Optional)
THREE (3) DIFFERENT RESTAURANTS
TWO (2) FUN THINGS TO DO

Please add these items to your PMB 

This exercise will give you an idea of what types of things you need to look for if you move to another city someday to take a job or start college. Even if you share an apartment/house with others, you should know this information.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION(S)
What are some of the places in my new neighborhood that I will go to often?

What services or stores are most important, and which ones would be considered luxeries?

What items do I need to buy to survive, and what is not necessary. Based on the selection of my apartment, where can I go to buy these items, and how much will they cost.
