A treasure map

Children´s favourite stories are about treasure hunting. Pirates like treasures too. I like stories where pirates visit lots of little islands looking for a treasure. They climb hills, dig holes, explore caves, dive in rivers and fight dangerous animals. Finally, they find a secret treasure and they shout and laugh and jump and, of course, they always sing the famous pirate songs. The best moment is when they have to match the parts of a treasure map. Treasure maps are always broken and that is the most interesting part of the story. Normally one piece is lost. It is the piece with the most relevant information. They can´t find the treasure without it. It has the exact location of the treasure. Suddenly, a hero or heroine appears with a new map and the pirates can find the treasure. The pirates sail the seas with their ship full of money and precious stones. I think that I will be a professional adventure writer and tell stories of pirates and maps. My books will have the most beautiful and colourful plans and maps. Or, will I be a cartographer? Ha, ha. Who knows?

Answer the questions:

What does Sol read?

What does a cartographer draw?

How do we find our way to a new place?

My objectives are: • To know how to locate people and places using maps and plans. • To know how to create different types of maps and plans that represent features of the different parts of the world.

Classroom resources • Printed pictures of small health centres that are common to several municipalities. Paper maps that indicate the distance among these places. • Flash-cards showing jobs. Which type of jobs need means of transport to obtain their products or to help the inhabitants?

Everybody in the world should have access to basic human needs.

• Printed photos of the family villages or of places visited during trips. Do they have a good access to localities around?

We have detected rural areas with lots of dangerous dirt roads. Paved roads are required urgently.

Learning experience The unit starts with an attractive illustration and pictures where the characters of the project always introduce the Learning experience and the SDG.

ODS 4. Quality Education: Inclusive education to enable upward social mobility and end poverty. Students must be conscious of their commitments to contribute to these future achievements. Rights and obligations go hand in hand.

The pupils will have to develop a learning experience at the end of the unit: a road map. They can begin now. First step: debate about how important roads are and how necessary the road workers are, not only to build them but also to guarantee their conservation and continuity. Transporting people and goods must be done with no difficulties. The goal is to reach the farthest points as soon and as safer as possible.

In this case Kim and Sol are in a small village and Kim tells the students that they have detected rural areas with lots of dangerous dirt roads. Paved roads are required urgently. This idea will be developed in The World and...you! section. In this section students develop the learning experience, which in this unit is to build a road map.

SDG objective

• to know how to locate people and places using maps

The sustainable development goals aim to protect to the planet, reduce the inequality and improve the relationship among living beings. In this unit we will be considering:

• to know how to create different types of maps and plans

12

My objetives Students know which the main objective of the unit are: and plans. that represent features of the different parts of the world.


Language bank

1

• The Language bank section is a very useful linguistc tool that helps your students answer questions confidently. It provides them with useful language structures and prompts. In this case the structure is Present Simple.

Look at the picture and answer: • Where are Sol, Kim and Pat? • What are they doing? • What are they holding in their hands? Why?

2

• What do pirates do? They climb… Listen and read.

• What does Sol read? She reads… Let’s explore

A treasure map

• This is a small and clear mindmap. It is an outline that help students identify and organise the major concepts of the units. In this unit they will study maps, plans and the globe. The Globe is also presented as a type of space representation. The maps are divided into three types of maps with a different subject each.

Children´s favourite stories are about treasure hunting. Pirates like treasures too. I like stories where pirates visit lots of little islands looking for a treasure. They climb hills, dig holes, explore caves, dive in rivers and fight dangerous animals. Finally, they find a secret treasure and they shout and laugh and jump and, of course, they always sing the famous pirate songs.

Suggested activities After finishing activity 3, find the names of some world-known cartographers throughout the history. Write a very short biography. Complementary activities In class and in groups of four, hide a treasure. Draw the treasure map. Swap the maps and try to find the other groups´ treasures. Then, invent and sing a pirates´song to show your happiness. Answer key

1 • The children and the dog are on a hill, over a village. • Sol and Kim are walking and hiking. Pat is chasing them and barking.

• Kim is holding a plan of the village. Sol is holding a compass. They are holding these objects because they are finding their way to the village.

2 As this unit is about plans and maps, the story on this page is i n te n d e d to i n t ro d u ce a j o b connected with the topic: the cartographers. The story tells us about treasure maps and pirates, as a more ludic and less serious aspect before studying the theory in depth.

• Flash-cards of buildings in town

Do you use plans? When do we use them?

Plans are drawing of limited places. They are smaller than the real things. Cartographers draw them. Plans show the view of the place or object from above.

Refresh The teacher encourages the children to say moments in life when they, or their family, use plans. At the end of the brainstorm, they can complete a chart to see how many students use the plans when travelling, when visiting the city, when finding a new house, when assembling a piece of furniture, a toy, etc.

This is my room.

The characteristics of a plan Plans helps us: – to find the exact location of a place. – to measure the distances or sizes. – to go from one place to another without losing our way.

The teacher explains the information box with simple words: You know your location whenever you are at your bedroom, your favourite building or your city. You know how long or short an object is. For example, you can observe the length of a ruler. But what can you do when you can´t see the place or the object directly? You can imagine it by looking at its representation on a plan. The biggest area they represent is a city. Plans show the view of the place or object from above or from one side. There is a lot of information on a plan!

Suggested activities After finishing the competence-based activity, suggest playing a guessing game with a partner. They must use the plan of a two-storey shopping mall and label at least eight shops and stores. Then ask questions and draw your friend´s plan without looking. Then, the friend will ask you about your plan too. Give full affirmative or negative answers. Use this grammar:

• Is the … upstairs? • Is the … downstairs? • Is the … on the left of the aisle? • Is the … on the right of the aisle? Complementary activities

1. In groups of four, search in internet. Find the plan of a kitchen, a village, a hospital, and a wrench. Print, cut 14

Date Checked

out and glue the plans to design a miniposter with the title: “Plans help us understand the world”. Write four sentences describing each plan. For example: ”The new kitchen is wide and long”; “This hospital has got lots of bedrooms for the patients”/ “This village has got very colourful houses and buildings”; The size of this wrench is very appropriate”…)

2. Imagine you are a cartographer that works as a teacher at the University. Explain, orally, to your students what elements they must include if they want to draw the plan of their university.

Second step: They must memorise the parts of a plan that will also appear on their road map. They will try to remember all of them and include them in their final learning experience project.

Do you use plans when you travel with your family?

How do we name the different parts in a plan? Children must learn the names and meanings by heart after observing and doing some practice.

The key tells us what these symbols represent.

Think Look at the key of the plan. Copy the symbols in your notebook. Write what they represent. Then design your own symbol for a supermarket.

Imagine you are cartographers. Draw the plan of a new shopping mall.

• Draw symbols on a piece of paper for a restaurant, a videogame room, a clothing shop, a computer store and a bookshop. • Then place them on the plan with the directional marker, the key, the toponomy and a scale.

The teacher can explain more clearly: When we want to know the characteristics of a big part of the Earth´s surface, we look at maps. They are drawings of big areas. The smallest area they represent is a municipality. Cartographers also draw maps. You will travel with your imagination observing a map! We read essential information in both maps and plans:

Sometimes locating places on a plan or map is difficult. There are lots of names and colours and a lot of information.

• Compass. • Coordinates lines posters.

What can you do to find a place quickly?

• Wind rose templates.

a) You must remember the name of the street and the number where you want to go. It is very useful to write the address down.

• Globes

b) You can mark the route and learn it. For example, “I turn left at the end of the road and take the second left. I pass the traffic lights, go straight on and the park is at the end of the road”.

Content Finding out where to go/ What can you do to find a place quickly?

c) You can locate the place using the coordinates that are vertical and horizontal lines from the Equator and the Greenwich meridian. The horizontal lines show the latitude and the vertical lines show the longitude.

The teacher reads the explanation slowly and asks the pupils to remember moments in their life when their family used each of the resources in a,b.c.

Finding out where you are

The tools we use to find places or directions, such as maps, compass or GPS are man-made elements. But what happens when you can‘t use them? Imagine you are in the middle of the forest. Nature has no names and animals can´t talk. How can you find your way? The Sun, the mountains, the trunks and the stars can give you clues to find the North. b

3

Read and do the actions. Can you find the North? Step one: Look for the sun rise. That point is the East. Point to the East with your right hand. Step two: Stretch the left arm. Now your left hand is pointing to the West. Step three: The North is in front of your face. Walk forwards. Step four: The South is behind your head. Walk backwards.

4

c

Think There are more clues in Nature that help us find our location. Observe the picture b) and c), answer the questions and try to remember:

a) Where is the North, in the shady or the sunny face of the mountain? Why can we find vegetation in the shady face? b) The side of the trunk with the closest growth rings points to the south. True or false?

Organise your class in groups of four. You are going to draw a road map. Follow these steps: 1. Search in internet and learn about dirt roads and paved roads. Where do you normally see them? What are the main differences? Present it to the class orally. 2. Observe different road maps of Spain and locate some dirt roads. Are they very long? 3. Find maps of your autonomous community and observe the number of towns and villages. Does it have a lot of rural areas? 4. What are the advantages and disadvantages of living in a rural area? 5. Find the parts of a map in the pages of this unit. What are their names and their functions? Do not forget to include them in your road map.

Act!

After studying this unit, prepare a proper and simple road map that can help governors locate the dangerous old paths of your community. Give reasons to build modern roads that communicate people and provide services. Present the project to the rest of the class. All citizens must have the same opportunities of mobility to access better life conditions.

twenty-one

Dirt roads are dangerous and cars go slowly. Paved roads are safe and cars go quickly. 2. Paved roads are longer than dirt roads. 3. Yes, they have a lot of rural areas. 4. The advantages of living in rural areas are: There is no pollution. You live next to the Nature. You can walk to the park, the little shops, etc. You know everybody. Disadvantages: There are few paved roads. There are a lot of dirt roads. There are not big supermarkets. You have to share the doctors and teachers with more villages that are far away.

5. The parts of a map are: Directional markers (cardinal points), key and conventional symbols (drawing that represent real elements), toponomy (names pf places), scale (distance) and title (name of the map). Act: They draw the complete dirt roads map (including all its parts, coordinates, etc) and include this type of pieces of information in their presentation (related to the SDG of the unit):

opportunities of mobility to access better life conditions. Doctors, nurses, lorry drivers, firefighters, policemen and policewomen, teachers and all workers need to move quickly and safely from one place to another to help the inhabitants in the rural areas and provide services.

The rural areas need to be communicated with urban areas. We need paved roads because all citizens must have the same 25
