This question is drawn from the section “Planning Your Own Map…”(Presnell, 207). After reading this chapter of the Presnell text can you envision a situation where you might design and include a map to illustrate a point – or points – in one of your own research projects? And note this is considerably different than simply cutting and pasting (and citing the source for) an existing map. Some might believe the effort is not worth the return; others that is well worth the effort for one reason or another. What do you personally think…and, as usual, why? (Just conversation.)
