SA MESSY SITUATIONAL MAP TEMPLATE With Suggestions for Use

SUGGESTIONS FOR USING THIS SA TEMPLATE • Your initial Messy Situational Map should be done by hand on a big piece of paper so you can move quickly and jot things down as they come to you. Importantly, this way of working promotes the broadest empirical mapmaking about YOUR situation, rather than following our list of usual elements. • This Power. Point contains two template slides intended for doing later Messy Situational Maps in case you want to share them with others by making them more readable, accessible, and transportable. • The Abstract Messy Situational Map slide is from the book and shows the different kinds of elements one might expect to find on such a map. But each situation is unique, so while we anticipate that you will have many of them, you may also have other kinds of elements as well—and not have all of these. • To make a more readable Messy Situational Map downstream, you can either delete the element names from the Abstract Situational Map and add your own elements OR • You can use the other slide titled My Messy Situational Map, in which we have already deleted the names of the elements but left the multiple spaces to fill in where there is a letter or a number. Moving your cursor over the map, click on a letter or a number, and enter your element, then the next, one by one. • Again, you may not have all of the kinds of elements we note, and you may have others. Messy Situational Maps are distinctive for each SA project.
