Community Mapping

What is community?  Is it a literal, physical place that you can touch, taste, feel and see?  Or is community a larger thing, an untouchable thing that doesn’t have any particular form or shape?  Take this page and map out your community.  In the box draw a map of your community.  Include everything you can think of, and then compare it with a "real" map of your area!   Afterward, list the people, places and things that make your neighborhood a community.  Remember to draw or list everything that matters to you!
