PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES:

        • This video relates to following learning objectives/outcomes.

TASKS:

        • The Video "Presents a fascinating exploration into the minds of twelve mapmakers. Discover how their unique backgrounds, philosophies, values, and politics led each to select a particular mathematical formula to create their maps. Learn about the impact those world images have had on us, consciously and unconsciously."

        • Discover how their unique backgrounds, philosophies, values, and politics led each to select a particular mathematical formula to create their maps.

        • Learn about the impact those world images have had on us, consciously and unconsciously.

        • Focus on thinking about what the narrator is saying, and watch carefully everything that is happening in this and other videos (and not just what the narrator is pointing out or calling your attention to).

          • The focus on exams will be your experience and processing of the film's contents--not simply repeating facts, noting figures, and citing data and statistics, and the like.

        • Fieldwork and comparison/contrast methods are key to American Anthropology. Treat the videos like fieldwork experiences. The comparison/contrast application theme will be stronger in the second half of the semester, and with the Research Project.

          • Write down questions you have as they come up (that is take "fieldnotes" and do "freelisting").

            • Information on Freelisting

CRITERIA:

      • Grading Note: You will receive points for submitting a question for the exam later in week 5 within the Submit Midterm Exam Question Discussion. You do not need to submit a question for each film; just one question for the Midterm Exam and one question for the Final Exam.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

      • Special features: Includes over 70 PowerPoint images with links to map resources; preview: Arno Peters: Radical map, remarkable man; radio interviews; book excerpts; and more."

      • Based on the book: Seeing through Maps / Denis Wood, Ward Kaiser, and Bob Abramms.
