1 Look at the maps and their descriptions. Then talk with your
partner about why they were drawn that way.

  • China is at the center of the world even
    though it was drawn in Korea.

  • European countries are clearly drawn,
    but other parts are left almost empty.

  • North and south are reversed, and the
    Pacific Ocean is the center of the world.

    • Why does this map show the world like this?
    Maybe it’s because people at the
    time had that kind of world view.
