Learning goals

• I can find a place on a map using coordinates.

Language goals

I can describe what I see on my map.

I can say what type of map I have.

I can tell where something is using coordinates.

Guess...

I look at rivers, rocks and land,

At mountains high and beaches of sand.

I study nature, rain and trees,

And places shaped by wind and seas.

What am I?

Guess...

I look at people, towns and streets,

At farms, roads and places where everyone meets.

I study cities, jobs and homes,

And how people change the places they roam.

What am I?

Guess...

I show you forests, rivers and hills,

With fields, mountains and quiet mills.

They are places made by nature’s hand,

Not built by people across the land.

What am I?

Guess...

I make maps of places far and near,

I use lines and symbols to make things clear.

I show the world on paper or a screen,

So you can see what places mean.

What am I?

Guess...

I help you understand a map,

So you don't get lost on your trip.

I explain symbols, lines and signs,

And tell you what each picture means.
