Background Information
A map ‒ is a two­dimensional representation of the world. A globe is a three­dimensional representation of the world. (A map is a
“flattened” globe.)
A globe ‒ is a round model of the Earth.
The Four Cardinal Directions - are North, South, East and West.
Physical characteristics of places ‒ are features such as landforms, bodies of water, natural resources, natural hazards, and weather.
These result from climatic and tectonic processes. (Definition from The Social Studies Center)
Forces within the Earth (tectonic) - cause volcanic activity and earthquakes, which result in mountains and other natural features of the
landscape. Climate, including effects of temperature, precipitation, and wind, also shape the physical characteristics of places.

land? It most likely landed on water because over 70 percent of the Earth is
covered with water.
5. Repeat more than once to show the probability that the student’s finger
will land on water.
6. Display a map of the Earth. Facilitate a discussion to discern the
differences between the map and globe, 2-D and 3-D. (The major difference
between a map and a globe is the map is two dimensional and the globe is
three dimensional.)

Then, give directions such as, “Walk
five steps to the east.”
Many textbooks provide good
information to help in teaching cardinal
directions. Throughout the discussions,
the teacher models statements using
the TODAL strategy so students
recognize required parts of a map and
learn about geographic concepts:
T – Title (of the map)
O – Orientation (where north is)
D – Date (of the map’s creation)
A – Author (of the map)
L – Legend components
EXPLORE – Compass Rose and Cardinal Directions
