By now you should have already gathered some preliminary sources that will help you tell a story with a written narrative as well as a drawn map to present your own unique version of the genre “fantasy environment.” To draft your map and narrative of the map, you will follow both of the map and narrative guidelines below:Your genre production project should consist of three parts:PART I: My Fantasy Map:In this part, you are to draw a map (hand-drawn or digitally created) using the following steps to draw a fantasy map. There are no restrictions on what your map looks like, as long as it fulfills the requirements of featuring multispecies and/or global aspects and delineating an unmapped environment based on your own observation/perspective of the world around you in an unconventional way. *Steps to create a fantasy map:1.Periphery: outline, direction, borders. 2.Physical surface (natural landscape): use of colors, light and shade, high and low (altitude). 3.Man-made/artificial components: locations, objects, and structure related to civilization. 4.Participants: locations, human and nonhuman participants, characteristics of participants, and interaction between participants. 5.Social structure and power relations. 6.Legend: a description, explanation, or a table of symbols printed/written on the map; a chart to permit a better understanding or interpretation of the map; containing information about map scale.7.Final touch: labels and necessary edits for the map to be easily accessible. When creating your map, you are welcome to make it multimedia-based, digitally created, and/or hand-drawn/made, as long as you include all the components listed in the steps above. If you make or draw your map without using a computer, you can take a picture (only if it’s a multimedia, 3D map) of the map or scan the hand-drawn map using free apps such as Adobe Scan, Microsoft Office Lens, and CamScanner and insert the scanned image onto a page of your Word doc. The scanned image should be as large, enhanced, and clear as possible so that details on the map can be easily observed. PART II: My Fantasy Narrative:In this part, you will compose a narrative of minimum 500 words in an essay form that tells a story of why the map is created and how the map demonstrates a fantastic environment where the fantastic (the void and/or the imaginative) elements are delineated to construct an environment that is of a global and/or multispecies scale. You will also explain how the map should be taken seriously by mapmakers and how it is significant in contributing an innovative idea, concept, direction, and/or method in the environment studies (refer to the Wikipedia link for a general understanding of what environmental studies entail: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_studies (Links to an external site.)). You can compose your narrative by referring to the following guiding questions:1. A detailed description of your cartographic process from brainstorming to final decisions along with the rationale behind every step.2. Why did you create this particular map to showcase a “fantasy environment” that you deem void in our common conversations on the environment and deserving of attention?3. How is your map multispecies and/or global and how does such a map enable the reader to think “in a bigger picture”? What is the significance of the map in introducing a new, unconventional perspective on how we humans can and should our worldviews differently? 4. How does your map address the concept of the environment that is different from the general understanding on the environment studies (check the Wikipedia entry for more info)? When writing your narrative, please make sure your narrative is written in the form of a cohesive, logical, and organized essay that responds to all the questions above. When composing your essay, please use textual evidence from your map as well as detailed expositions of your cartographic rationale in response to the questions and the course themes of global and multispecies perspectives on the study of the environment. PART III: A separate page of bibliography: Provide a list of the sources you reference during the process of composing the map and the narrative using MLA citation guide (MLA Citation Guide on Purdue OWL website: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_style_introduction.html (Links to an external site.) ).*Formatting requirements:For the narrative part, use 1-inch margins, 12pt Time New Roman font, double-spaced layout. ————————————————————————————————————————————-**Examples can be found on my website where two students (more to come!) from my previous class composed their own “world-building” projects (on a different topic than ours) that include a map and a detailed narrative: https://www.analterworld.com/post/introducing-joseph-lan-s-multispecies-world-map-concept (Links to an external site.) . Please keep in mind the requirements of their mapmaking and narrative were different than yours. The examples are to be referenced but modeled after. Your project prompt is actually an updated version I have written that has more clear, concise requirements. That said…I am expecting something even more “fantastic” from you all and looking forward to presenting your work on the website with your permission in the near future!————————————————————————————————————————————- Your last name Page numberFull name Student ID number BWRIT 134 H 2020FallInstructor: Dr. Hsinmei LinFantasy Environment Project12/6/2020Title
