My Community Story Map

My Community Story Map

Ready for an adventure that starts right outside your front door? With the My Community Story Map activity, you become both a cartographer and a storyteller!

This special project invites you to explore your neighborhood with new eyes. You'll learn the basics of map-making as you draw the streets, parks, and important landmarks. But this isn't just any map—it tells a story. Your story.

Highlight the secret shortcut to your friend's house, draw the giant oak tree that’s perfect for climbing, or mark the spot where you saw that amazing sunset. Add notes, symbols, and memories to transform a simple map into a personal masterpiece.

By the end, you won't just have a map; you'll have a treasure. A visual tale of the places and moments that make your community uniquely yours. Grab your pencils and your sense of wonder—it's time to map your story!
