• S
s look at the picture. Say: The
person is using a GPS to help him
find the way through the woods.
The GPS shows you exactly where
you are. Then say: Point to the
GPS. Point to the place where
the person is.
1.1
Practice
Remember the story of Hansel and Gretel? The children
leave a trail of crumbs in the woods so that they can find
their way home. But birds eat the crumbs and the
children get lost. They end up in the wicked witch’s house.
• Ask: Do you know the story of
Hansel and Gretel? What happens?
Elicit answers.
1.1
Play track 1.1 Song. Ss listen
and read. Ask: What do Hansel
and Gretel use to help them find
the way home? What happened
to their trail? Then ask: What can
we use today to help us find our
way? Explain that today we have
signposts to show us how to get
from one place to another. We
also have maps, compasses
and GPS devices.
• Explain: In this unit you will
learn about maps and how they
show the Earth.
Don't get lost in the woods!
What a shame they didn’t have a map and a compass! Or
even better, a GPS device. A map and a compass help you
to find your way. A GPS device tells you exactly where
you are, and shows you how to get to where you want to
go. It works by receiving signals from artificial satellites in
the sky.
Today, it is not so easy to get lost in the woods!

Globes and maps
Objectives
1.2
Globes
The Earth is a very big sphere. Globes are
small spheres that show the Earth on a
small scale. Globes also show: 1
• To find out how we represent
the Earth
• To learn about Earth globes
and world maps
The North Pole. This is the point on Earth
that is the farthest north.
• To recognize how colours are
used on maps
The South Pole. This is the point on Earth
that is the farthest south.
The Equator. This is an imaginary line that
divides the Earth into two halves: the
Northern Hemisphere and the Southern
Hemisphere.
Key language
• Key vocabulary and structures:
Equator, Northern Hemisphere,
North Pole, Southern Hemisphere,
South Pole; artificial satellite,
axis, cartographer, globe,
physical map, political map,
thematic map, world map
Presentation
• Bring in a globe. Ask: What is this?
What information can we get from
it? Point to the top and bottom of
the globe. Ask: What do we call
these points? Then show Ss a
world map. Ask: How is the map
different to the globe?

Artificial satellites take photos of the Earth.

Cartographers use information from the
photos of the Earth.
Maps
Maps are flat pictures that show parts of
the Earth's surface. Cartographers are
people who make maps. This is how
cartographers make maps:
Artificial satellites take photos of the
Earth from space. These photos show
the exact shape of the land and the
oceans. 2
The satellites send the photos back to the
Earth. Cartographers use this information
to create maps and globes to represent
the Earth. 3
The Earth is a very big sphere. Globes
and maps represent the Earth on a small
scale.
1.2
• Explain that maps also give us
information about the surface
of the Earth.
1.3
Play track 1.3. Ss listen and read.
Ask: What do cartographers do?
How do they make maps?
• Ss take turns to find the same
place on the globe and map.
• Ask: Where is Spain on the globe/
map? Then say: Find the ocean
between South America and Africa.
Ask: What is the ocean called?
(The Atlantic.)

Reinforcement
• In pairs, Ss write sentences about globes and maps on strips of paper. They
cut the sentences in two. Ss work with another pair to match the sentence
halves. Give an example: The satellites send / photos back to Earth.

make maps. They present the process as a flow chart showing the different
stages of the process.

capital cities on the continent and mark them on the map. Ss share their
maps with the class.

Objectives
• To apply knowledge acquired in
the unit to carry out a task
Find your way and calculate distances with a map
Some small maps represent
areas of the Earth on a much
smaller scale.

and calculate distances using a
map

Find your way with the map.
• Ss look back at the texts about
calculating distances using a scale
(on page 10) and using a compass
(on page 11). Ask: What is the scale
in the maps on pages 10 and 11?
1
Look at this map of a summer camp. Imagine you have this map
and a compass. Copy the map into your notebook.
2
Where is each picture explained? Use the information below,
and draw these pictures in the correct places on your map:
• Ss look at the map. Ask: What is
the scale in this map? (1 cm =
20,000 cm.)
3
• Explain to Ss that you can describe
a route using a map and compass.
4
Practice
• Copy the map and key on the
board. Ask: Which symbol is the
cabin? Which symbol is the bridge?
Then ask: What is north of the
bridge? Ss copy the map into their
notebooks.
• Ask: Where can I find out what the
pictures mean? Then ask: What
picture can we use for a statue?
Ss draw the pictures on the map.
• Review what N, S, E and W mean.
Ask: Which direction do you take
from the lake to the tower? (North.)
Which direction do you take from
the tower to the mountains? (West.)
Read the route aloud with the class.
Ss listen and follow. Ss draw the
route on their map.
• Explain that we can describe
directions that are halfway between
the main compass points with these
words: north-east, north-west,
south-east, south-west.
• In pairs, Ss write the directions for
each stage in their notebooks.
• Calculate the distances as a class.

a tree to the west of the tower
a statue to the south of the lake
Draw this route on your map:
from the cabin to the bridge
from the bridge to the tower
from the tower to the lake
Write which direction you have to take for each stage
of Activity 3. Follow the example:
from the cabin to the bridge: South
5
Did you use a compass or a compass rose
to help you? Why?
Calculate distances with the scale.
6
With a ruler, measure the distance between the tower
and the mountains on the map. Calculate the real
distance using the scale on the map. What is the real
distance between the bridge and the lake?

Reinforcement
• Ss work in pairs. Ask them to measure the distances between other features
on the map. Then they calculate the real distance using the scale.
Extension
• In pairs, Ss find a map of Spain or their region. Ss plan a route. They find
different places of interest on the map and calculate the distances. Then they
write a short text describing the different places on the route and the
distances between each place. They present their work to the class.

1 Ss copy the text into their
notebooks and fill in the gaps.
THINK ABOUT IT. Imagine you are going to travel around the world.
Can you travel only by boat? Or only by car? Explain.
Play track 1.11 of the Class Audio.
Ss listen and check their answers.

2 Explain that to trace the map the
correct way round, Ss need to
trace over the map once, then turn
the tracing paper over, trace over
the lines carefully and then turn the
paper back so the right side is
facing them. Then they can trace
the map into their notebooks.
Choose one of these activities:
A. ICT. Choose a continent and make a
poster about it. Search the Internet for a map
of your continent and photos of its landscapes,
cities, etc. Stick them on the poster.
B. Draw a map with mountains, a river and a cave.
Think about a place to hide some treasure and mark it
on the map. Do not forget to include a key.
C. Explain the differences between a globe and a world map.

Reinforcement
• In pairs, Ss write anagrams of key words in the unit. Give an example:
haysclip amp. (Physical map.) They work with another pair and take turns to
work out the words.
Extension
• In pairs, Ss use maps and the Internet to plan a route to travel around the
world. They need to decide which countries they are going to visit, what
places of interest they are going to see and how they are going to travel.
Ss find out which oceans, seas, continents and countries they will go through
on their journey. Ss present their journeys to the class.

3 Ss look back at the pages on
oceans and continents. In pairs,
they look at the world map and
use their fingers to trace different
routes. Ask: If you go by boat,
which route will you take?
Show your skills
• Read the options. Make sure the
Ss understand the activities and all
the vocabulary.
• Put the Ss into groups according
to the activity they wish to do.
KEY COMPETENCES
Ss understand how scale
represents real distance and
use it to calculate distances
on a map.
