a simple map of your site below. Walk around your site and see the shadows cast
by buildings and walls. Draw around the shadows with chalk. Write the time of
day next to the shadows. Play or walk around the site for 15 minutes. Come back
and see how the shadows have moved. Draw around the shadows and write the time
of day again. Transfer these drawings to your map.
