Task...• In pairs, cut out and read through your cards.• Now sort them into 2 groups; features that relate

to physical geography and those that relate to human geography.

One girl in each pair should be number 1 and the other number 2

Task...• All the number 1’s should now sit together and

use the atlases to label your physical geography map

• All the number 2’s should sit together and use the atlases to label your human geography map

Task...• Go back to your pairs...• Number 1 should now try to describe to number

2 what is on her map. You should try to do this without showing each other the maps.

• When you have done as much as you can, swap over.

Plenary• Without looking at

your maps, how many of these features could you label?
