HUMANITIES 8
Class continued exploring different ways people use mapping to present and understand information. Students viewed a PowerPoint slide show discussing what was presented. We discussed 'declination' (true north vs. magnetic north); we also explored finding volcanoes around the world using latitude and longitude; we talked about how maps can be used to manipulate and misrepresent information to bias the people viewing the maps.
