Topic 3

Village Map

Example: Key points for Participants to Write in Notebooks Have you ever thought about our village resources?

What do you feel is important about drawing a village map?

Why do we have to begin with mapping resources in the village?

map  m + a + p =  read map village  v + I + l + l + a + g + e = road

 read village

 r + o + a + d =  read road

mountain  m + o + u + n + t + a + i + n =  read mountain school  s + c + h + o + o + l =

 read school

river  r + i + v + e + r =  read river Practice counting numbers



 Ask the participants to count the number of houses, counting from 1-100

Target Audience:

Women, men, and child caregivers

1. How to Facilitate this Topic 1.a. Starting to process activities: Ask the participants to sit in a circle and greet each other

Record attendance list by calling the members’ names aloud Review previous topics or activities

The facilitator asks about issues or uses questions to brainstorm links to the new topic

1.b. How to make a map

o Tell the members to sit in a semi-circle and clear a space in the middle o Ask them to draw a map on the ground to show houses in their village by comparing with a related area.

o To enable them to make a map, they should begin showing the main roads or paths going from one house to another and other important points like lakes, rivers, canals, jungles etc.

o Ask them to use any materials around them like sticks, rocks, or bean seeds, etc

o Encourage the participants as much as possible

o Ask them to show the locations of each member’s house and the point where the group is to meet, using signaling materials such as a branch to denote roads, a bridge, etc.

o Add other important places such as a school, health center, etc. o Next, ask them if they think the mapping is correct. If there are errors, try to correct them.

o If you believe it is correct, copy the map to a flipchart.

2. Ideas for Discussion

Connect various ideas to your own village map by opening discussion and analysis as well as the foundation for planning through asking questions using who, what, why, where, how.

Questions can begin in a useful way:  Ask about the history of the village.  What are the different kinds house construction techniques used in the village?

How is this different from the past?

 Who first settled down in this area? How many generations have there been to date?

 Who are the elders in the village who would know this village’s past the best?  Have any significant events occurred in the village?  Ask about the locations of important people in the village, such as the village chief, commune chief, etc.

 Crucial places should be known in the village, such as health center, police station, pharmacy, school, etc.

 Discuss the location of each member’s home and the meeting place for Reflect Circle group discussion.

 Be able to search for community issues that occurred in the past as well as issues that have occurred recently

 How can they be solved? In a group or how?  Ask and take notes of the village’s existing resources and their location.

3. Ideas for Practicing Activities at Home

 Clearly determine each place of discussion group by taking the village’s circumstances into consideration.

 Research and collect data to keep as documents in the village 4. Practice Reading Writing  Numeracy 

 At the stage of reading and writing their names, the facilitator should write elements of a word separately in consonants and vowels from their discussion, then ask them to read altogether word by word

map  m + a + p =  read map village  v + I + l + l + a + g + e = road

 read

village

 r + o + a + d =  read road

mountain  m + o + u + n + t + a + i + n = school  s + c + h + o + o + l =

 read mountain

 read school

river  r + i + v + e + r =  read river Practice counting numbers



Instruct the participants to count the number of houses, counting from 1-100.

5. Concluding the Meeting  Briefly summarise the key points of the topic.  Remind participants when and where the next meeting will occur according to the schedule.

6. More information and material for the coordinator Goal:

At the end the participants will be able to:

 Discuss the creation of a village map in order to search for the village history through the map 1 sheet prepared by discussion group Material:

Marker, flipchart, adhesive tape, white paper or, wood piece, leaves, bean
