map of your own which includes the required items below. You can either hand draw the

using images you find or create on a computer. One suggestion is to use National
Geographic Map Maker if you would like to create this map electronically instead of hand
drawing the map. You could create a final presentation of your map in the format of either a
poster, a Prezi, or a PowerPoint (Google presentation works too). The choice is up to you!

 Include a map key that shows the meaning of symbols you create and use on the map
itself.
 Name of City and Country are visible on the map (Capitalized and spelled correctly.)

want to use is perfectly fine.)

 Show at least one image that represents a Push Factor and at least one image that
represents a Pull Factor for people populating this city. The image must be cited and not
