Exploration-s23w5/Track Markers
Hello friends and family! |
---|
I hope you are great I am also good today I am here to take part in another interesting learning challenge organised by respected professor @karianaporras that is Exploration-s23w5/Track Markers, she is super talented professor I am impressed by your knowledge.
Locate 3 natural trails and 3 artificial trails in your area and explain what each of them is about.
The natural trails
The natural tracks are widely utilise by our forefathers and also by us to find route perhaps these are always right and we couldn't move towards wrong track.
In our areas still if things are stolen or lost by thieves these are search by footprints of animals and these are special people who have good interests and knowledge and most of the times the stolen animals are found.
Sometimes I also used these tracks in areas where we didn't find map these mud spots of animals and such spots are good sources of information for track findings.
Moreover I mostly guide others and also remember famous points by tree and larger trees which are bit good sources for location find and track markers.
Like when I joined job in new area I never visited it before my seniors guide remember this tree near bus stop you will not lost your destination.

Artificial tracks
Well in present lifestyle the importance of artificial tracks are much more because these are helpful in identifying different locations within the city and also in other areas.
In my daily life whenever someone especially colleagues wanted to visit my home I guide them through famous artificial tracks and they found me very easy without contacting again and again.
Hence when I joined my workplace in new area obviously it was hard to locate different places so people guide me like there would be large white mosque, the tower, the bridge etc and I found it easy.
Because such points are more famous and if we ask someone they guide it easy therefore they become source of track locations in any area where we are living or moving.

Trace a path in your area and use the clue signs to locate each space on the map accordingly. Remember to use elements of the environment and nature to form the clues.

Explain in your own words the path you followed, the elements you used, and where you arrived.
Here I have drawn the sketch of daily pathway towards my hospital. I used the sign of × to leave my door and then the #️⃣ to leave from main gate by green sign which I wanted to indicate I am moving towards hospital.
I moved about 5 minutes to reach bus station there is little curve in road then it towards straight. I indicated ❌ towards left side because it's wrong pathway and I have to move in straight upwards direction.
I used ↖️ to indicate my location towards right side by using little wooden arrows and then comes the bus and it's track.
I used pebbles to show my pathway in upwards straight line and pebbles shows road is in broken phase and it would be patchy.
I continued my pathway in upwards direction and then comes the area where road is of mud I indicated it with mud and arrow and we have to move with care and but slow as the road is under constructions.
I have moved toward left with a turning and I indicated it with green twigs which means the hospital is quite besides after it.
I used the green signs ⏺️ which shows the hospital and also my arrival to the work place and time taken was about 25 minutes.
What did you think of this week's homework? Did you know you could leave clues in a very simple way? Was this course easy for you to complete? What was the most difficult part, and what did you learn?
I would like to say thanks to my respected professor who enabled me to explore about these tracks although obviously I am using it in my daily life either for myself and also to guide my colleagues.
But through this challenge I have come to know these are really important in my life either there are natural tracks and or artificial ones and I have enjoyed it while answering these questions because these are based on creativity.
I knew in older times when we don't have cell phone people locate other through these sign and clues i have personally experienced it in my childhood time period.
Well as I mentioned when I started work in new area I forgot pathway and yeah it was hard to memorized so these natural and artificial track markers were my best companions and I take help from it to find my clear destination.
The natural tracks markers were but difficult for me because these are obviously not common known to lost of the people and it's hard to take information but with little explorers obviously it was useful for me.
Through this class I have learnt how to draw the sketch with natural material and what is it's significance in my life by using and understanding different locations markers enabled me to explore about different pathways on which I am moving daily.
It's all about my today's post. I would like to invite my friends @m-fdo, @jannat12 and @iqrarana786 to take part in the challenge.
