This assignment is about a topography competition. Split up into groups. Use the coordinates in W18 to place dots on the map in W17. Then fill in the names of the capitals and countries in W18. Use the map De Wereld - Staatkundig (The World Political) in the atlas. All the groups start at the same time. The winner is the group that finishes first and has filled in everything correctly. Go!

The route to school Do these assignments in groups. Students who live in the same place must be in the same group. 1
Read The route to school in your coursebook.
f The scale of the map is 1 :
What things are the same and what things are different in Desiree’s route to school and your own route to school?
g Who lives farthest away and who lives nearest the school? Fill in the distance of each route on the map. h Give the map a title, a legend, a scale and a north arrow.
Different:
4 Try to draw a route without looking at a map. For example: the route from your house to a friend’s house or the football or tennis club. Tip: draw the route first on a sheet of paper. Draw some landmarks along the way. Don’t forget: – the title, – the legend, – the scale, – the north arrow.
Same:
5 Now compare your map with a real map of your surroundings. Are these maps very different? Write down three differences. 1 2
Look at Sources 9 and 10 in your coursebook.

3 Ask your teacher for a map that shows your school and your houses. a What is the scale level of this map?

b Draw a red square for the school. c Put dots in different colours on the map for the houses where you live. d Each of you draws the route from your house to school. It is better to use a pencil first. Draw the routes with the same colours that you used for the dots.

A Menu of options A Isla Bonita Do this option in groups. You will make a map of the island of Isla Bonita. This is how you do it. 1 Read Source 11. Then you know what the island looks like. 2 What four things do you always see on a good map?

Put them on your map too. 3 Draw a map of the island. Choose an easy scale, such as 1 cm = 1,000 m = 1 km. Then the island will fit on an A4 (horizontally).
B A map of your bedroom 1 Read Option B in your coursebook. 2 Measure your bedroom first. How long and how wide is it? How wide are the door and the window(s)? Write down the measurements on a sheet of paper. 3 Choose a scale for your map. Make sure the map fits on an A4. Choose an easy scale, such as 1 cm = 25 cm (1 : 25). Then 4 cm on your map is 1 metre in real terms. 4 Draw the map on an empty page in the back of your workbook or on an A4. Draw the walls first, then the door and the window(s). Then draw your bed, your desk and other objects. 5 Give the map a title, a legend, a scale and a north arrow.

, line chart = Source
,
bar chart = Source
C Distances at school Do this option in groups. 1 Read Option C in your coursebook. 2 Ask your teacher for a map of the school. 3 What is the scale on this map? 1 : 4 This means that 1 cm on the map is metres in real terms. 5 Choose a day when you’ve got a lot of classes and you often change classrooms.
3 Tick the correct answers. About 250,000 migrants came to Canada every year between 2000 and 2010. The three provinces where most of the immigrants live are in the west of Canada. I n 1970 and 2010 most of the immigrants came from Europe. The percentage of Asian immigrants has grown enormously. 4 Colour in the maps in W19 and W20. Use the information in W21. (Net migration = immigrants minus emigrants.) 5 Cross out the incorrect answers. – Many people move from the west of Canada to the east. True/False – British Columbia is the only province in Canada where the net migration is positive for internal and external migration. True/False – Most of the foreign migrants go to the province with the biggest population. True/False

1 Read Option E in your coursebook and look at Sources 13A and 13B. 2 What kind of maps are in these sources? Topographical maps General maps Thematic maps 3 Cross out the incorrect answers and fill in. Most of the cities are inland / in the coastal region. The population density inland is low / high. Most of the precipitation falls inland / in the coastal region. It is very dry inland / in the coastal region. The population of Australia is spread evenly / unevenly across the country.
That is because
6 The percentage of Asians is highest in British Columbia. Think of a reason for that.
4 You are going to find photos of Australia on the internet. And you will do a crossword about Australia. Go to www.degeo-online.nl and do the assignment.

b Draw the school with a circle in W22 and write ‘school’ beside it. c Draw two other things in W22, such as your friend’s house, a shop or a sports field. Write down what it is.
Terms 3 Fill in the missing terms on the dotted lines in W23. Choose from: zooming in, scale, southern latitude, relative distance, northern hemisphere, national scale, regions, low latitude, land, thematic map, legend, western longitude, suburb, circle of longitude, absolute distance, global scale, zooming out. 4 Choose three terms from the diagram in W23. Write them down but don’t show them to your partner. He or she has to guess what terms you chose by asking questions. He or she can only ask ten questions for each term. You answer with Yes or No. After that, change roles. The winner is the person who guesses the most terms.
