Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Many streets include a range of buildings, including homes, shops, places of worship, offices, etc.
- When doing fieldwork geographers use large-scale maps to locate their position and features they see.
- Geographers use maps, labels and photographs to share information about places they have investigated through fieldwork.
Common misconception
The features discussed in the slides are the only way they look in real life e.g. all houses/ shops/ leisure facilities all look the same (like the pictures in the slides).
Houses, shops, green spaces, places of worship etc. are all unique. The features in your area might look the same as the examples or they might look different to the examples used. They are still a type of that feature.
