BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Gather a few things.

This sheet, two crayon colors, a window view for step 3.

One useful question

What do you pass every day without noticing?

WHY THIS WORKS

A little more than a worksheet.

Memory maps build attention to detail.

Make it gentler

Draw just your house and the two neighbors. Use symbols.

Add a little stretch

Add a key: N for north, dotted lines for your walking route, X for a secret spot.

A good place to stop

Tape your map to the window and compare it tomorrow.
