Showing Time, Space and Place on Maps

Maps depict different things, sometimes historical landscapes, sometimes information on where to find services, sometimes information on terrain. Students will look at different examples to try to understand how and why maps show different things.

Students will be introduced (or reminded) of the different concepts of time, space and place. They will investigate how different types of maps relate different types of information. They will also apply this knowledge to a map to work out what elements of time, space and place are present. This lesson can run either as an individual task or a group activity.

Who Should Buy This
This lesson can be used by anyone, but it is designed to be taught out of the box. It is best suited to a new teacher or a teacher who wants everything done with no input from themselves. I strongly advise looking at the units bundles if you want to build on each lessons topics sequentially.
