Go to the Project 1 First Drafts gallery. Select a draft that has fewer than three comments (you won't be be able to see comments until you click on a draft). Add a comment to the draft and respond to the following prompts:
  • What is this map's sense of purpose? What features of the map make you think that?
  • What is this map's audience? What features of the map make you think that?
  • What is this map's context? What features of the map make you think that?
  • What strategies does this map use? How do these strategies suit its sense of purpose, audience, or context?
  • What will be this map's final medium? How does this medium suit its sense of purpose, audience, or context?
  • How is this map arranged? How does this arrangement suit its sense of purpose, audience, or context?
  • What is the strongest element of this data map and why?
  • What element of this data map needs the most improvement and why?
Provide comments for three drafts. Obviously, you will be making assumptions in your responses. That is fine. Try to analyze the draft as best you can, and don't be afraid to make guesses. Your responses will constitute today's homework grade, but as long as you show a good faith effort, you will get full credit.
