Lesson Details
Key learning points
- An imaginary scenario can help us to plan what we would show an alien visiting our school grounds.
- Routes can be plotted on large-scale maps and aerial photographs of familiar places, e.g. the school grounds.
- Geographical vocabulary is used to name and describe familiar places, e.g. features of the school grounds.
Common misconception
Places on the route can be visited in a random order.
A route has a start point and end point and the stops in between help us find the last place of our route. If we visit places in a different order we may get lost.
Keywords
