Introduction to maps - simple Geography lesson

This resource consists of a power point which introduces the class to maps - what they, why we have them and what they look like. The lesson includes both interactive areas and teacher led areas. I have used this with Year 7 classes but it could be used with any KS3 class.

The learning objectives for each lesson are as follows:

Lesson 1

• We can identify the role of maps.
• We can describe the importance of a map for key events.
• We can create a basic map.

On each slide the objective being worked on at that time is highlighted to ensure pupils are conscious of their progress at all times.
