Pearl Harbor Map

Here is a link to our map

          My partner and I chose to map out the historical events of Pearl Harbor. We believed that with the options given we would be able to extract the greatest amount of useful information from it, and also because it was the topic that we were both quiet familiar with. On our map we included some main events leading up to, and the after math of Pearl Harbor. We researched the historical dates of events that led up to the Pearl Harbor attack, and recorded the information in systematic order by date. We located the data we used from Wikipedia. This site provided us with all of our presented information. For visual representations of our markings on our map, we extracted images for google, by searching the title of each point, and also from Wikipedia. The text that we presented describes incidents, events and post-attack information. I would of liked to of had the opportunity to create a slide show along with the map. This would give viewers a detailed and very visual concept of the historical event. I believe that creating this map does help people understand the history of Pearl Harbor, only because I did not know a lot about the event, but after the project was finished I left class with more knowledge about it. I believe that maps in general help people understand the location of certain events. Maps provide a perfect visual and geographic distribution of a certain event.
