For every example they need to research how it looks, from which materials are they made of, what is their meaning.

For each example they make a simple drawing on a poster or big sheet of paper. 

Students tell about their research using the 3-Point Presentation method.

Together with the class, you put each drawing on one big map according to where’s it from.
