Training Module Script-Map Themes

All text surrounded by quotes indicates the suggested script for the trainer to follow. Text without quotes or in parenthesis indicates notes to the trainer.

"The Atlas has more data available than can easily be viewed in one map, so four map themes were developed. These map themes are: Natural Resources, People and Society, Business and Economics, and Environment and Population" (direct students to go to Make a Map so that they can follow along).

"Within each theme, you can compare data and see some relationships between one data layer and another.
For example the Environment and Population theme contains data such as Environmental Protection Agency Superfund Sites, Percent total deaths for selected causes such as lung cancer, female breast cancer by county, and Percent of each race by census tract, county, congressional district."

"Each theme, as you can see has some unique data associated with it."
