2. Which Direction?01/01/2019 LG1: To use an Atlas to find countries
LG2 : To learn how to give and follow directions.

3. How do you give direction in Geography?

4. Use an Atlas to work out these directions:
Scotland to England is S
N. Ireland to Scotland
London to York
Glasgow to Edinburgh
London to Liverpool
Birmingham to Cardiff
Brighton to Ipswich
UK to Canada
UK to Australia
UK to Greenland
Now write 10 more of your own using an atlas to also locate cities.

5. A Journey through Europe
Using a map, describe a journey through Europe using your compass skills
Success Criteria:
You must travel through at least FOUR countries
You must use at least FOUR different directions

6. Using Maps: Symbols and Direction
Who Am I?
Using Maps: Symbols and Direction
Learning Goals:-
To draw a compass rose
To give directions
To recognise and draw basic map symbols
I can tell my neighbour which direction is North South East or West (4 point compass).
I can recognise simple symbols.
Stretch I can give my neighbour directions using North West, South East etc (8 point compass).
I can use a key to find out different symbols.
Challenge I can give my neighbour directions using 16 point compass points.
I can say if a symbol is an abbreviation or an image.

7. Why don’t we use left and right in geography?
North South East West What is the rhyme to remember the order?

8. How is direction shown on a map?
1. The best way to show direction is to use the points of the compass.
There are 4 main compass points:
North
East
South
West
These can be remembered in the correct order by saying “Never Eat Shredded Wheat”

9. On Maps

10. North ?? ??
East
West ?? ??
South
Task 1: Label your compass with the correct points
Extension: If you were stood at the south pole, which way would be north?

11. Between these 4 main points are 4 more points (this gives us an 8 point compass).
North West
North East
South West
South East

12. We can be even more accurate in the direction we give by using a 16 point compass.
North West
North East
South West
South East
Where do you think the following go?
North North East - East South East - West South West
South South East - West North West - South South West

13. Can you name the final 2 points of the 16 point compass?
We can be even more accurate in the direction we give by using a 16 point compass.

27. Is the map showing the classroom layout clear and easy to understand?
How could it be made clearer?
By using…
SYMBOLS

28. Why do we use symbols on a map?
When drawing a map it is important to include as much detail as possible however the map must remain clear and easy to read.
To make sure all the detail will fit on the map we use different images, abbreviations, lines and colours to represent things.
Symbols are used to save space and to make it easier to see things.
Every map must have a KEY that explains what the symbols mean.

29. Map symbols
Find the symbols for each of these…Write them down and draw them neatly in your book.
