Word Splash Example I picked up the map and read the map title. It said Animals Galore Zoo. I noticed that the map used a grid system. I looked at the map key to find the symbol for the polar bears. I wanted to see them first. I was not sure what direction I should go so I looked at the compass rose. I used the map scale to figure out the distance between where I was and the bear exhibit.
