Full teaching script
  1. Today: Maps and where I live. Our goal: Use a simple map and the four compass points.
  2. Take one idea at a time. Pause after each sentence; ask for repetition whenever you need it.
  3. A map is a picture of a place seen from above. North, east, south and west are the four main directions — 'Never Eat Shredded Wheat' going clockwise. A key tells you what the symbols mean.
  4. Together: choose one example from the explanation and show how it works. What do you notice?
  5. Your turn: Draw a map of your bedroom from above with a key.
  6. Reflect: what made sense, and what would you like explained differently?
