Mr. Turner: Today we are going to read a map. A map is a drawing of a place, as if you were looking down on it from the sky.
Mr. Turner: Look at the corner of the map. You will see a small shape with letters on it. It is called a compass rose. It shows the four directions: north, south, east, and west.
Mr. Turner: On most maps, north is at the top. So when you move your finger down the map, you are going south.
Mr. Turner: A map also has a key. The key tells what each little picture means. On our town map, a tiny tree means a park, and a book means a library.
Choose the best answer.
Where is north on most maps?
You can move on without answering. Unanswered questions are counted as wrong.
