Key learning points

Human as well as natural features can be special, e.g. the Riverside Museum in Glasgow.
Geographers use images and maps to investigate places, e.g. landmarks.
Geographers sometimes add labels or captions to images and maps to share their opinions.
Geographers make models and maps to share their ideas about places, including imagined buildings or places.
