May Week Four

May Week Four:
This week's work was focused on maps and giving directions.

Listening:
For learners, first check out some simple travel and sightseeing directions listening activities: 1 and 2. Or an activity from the British Council about giving directions. Or you may want to learn about how to protect your privacy on Google Maps.

For original version, check out the Backstory podcast about the History of Mapping or any of the fascinating TED Talks about Maps.

Reading:
Learners should try a map reading exercise or a reading activity about the controversy about the Persian Gulf on Google Maps.

For something in original version, read about the new maps used in Massachusetts Schools, or try the map puzzles over at Start Your Week with a Map!

Writing:
This week, please write a short story about a map of your world!  In my personal case, my map would include Logroño, Trevijano, New Hampshire and Oregon, and I could include a description of the physical and geographical aspects of those places.  What about your personal map?
Best,
Kelly
