(see sketch on page and pictures on page )

The model need not be elaborate. The outline sketch can be made with an ink marker on painted play-board or on oilcloth. Colors can be also added with ink markers if desired. Buildings can be made of scrap wood blocks. Some toy city sets made for children are also useful. Don't worry too much about keeping things in scale. The blocks should be glued down or they will be continually scattered as people bump into the table. It is also a good idea to fit the play-board or oilcloth exactly to the table size and tape them down to the table securely.

Be sure to make the model big enough--somewhere around 3X5 feet is a convenient size. Also make the streets wide enough so that toy cars and buses as well as small figures of people can be moved along them easily.

Do not label any of the locations on the table. It is important that students learn the locations without this visual aid. You should make sure you don't change the designations in the course of your presentation, i.e. the post-office should always be the same building. Make a sketch for your own reference purposes so you won't forget which is which.
