Map Skills Assessment

All year 7 pupils have to complete an assessment whereby they draw an A3 map of their route to school.

The map needs to include key features such as:

Compass Rose
Map Synbols and Key
Grid Lines
Scale
It could show land height
The route to school needs to be clearly marked on

All of the A3 paper provided needs to be covered. The work needs to be neatly presented as this is an important assessment.

Alongside the map pupils need to write a detailed description of their route to school.

If you have any questions, please come and see your Geography Teacher.

Good luck.
