Task 2 (TH: Cartographic Projections). Translator

Hello everyone!!! 
I am María and this week, I am the translator ^.^ This experience is very useful and interesting for me because I have learnt so much about the main concepts of this second task. 

From my point of view I select these five concepts:

CARTOGRAPHY:  It is the science that commits him in the design and the analysis of maps.  

MAP PROJECTION: It is a useful tool to represent the Earth’s surface. There isn’t a perfect projection model; in fact these types of projections distorted the reality, the use of one or other projection depending the type and purpose of each map.

MEDIA: Some instruments that are used for communicating and transmitting the information in a textual,visual,sound or audiovisual form.In addition, these tools can determine the students’ vision about something.

DISTORTION: It is a variation on the original shape of an object, sound or picture that modifies the reality.

TREASURE HUNT: is a game in which children have to find the answers of determined questions using a series of clues.. It is formed by an introduction of the exercise, questions to answer  and a  “big question” to think about. Sometimes the websites could be appeared for students to find the answers.
