The Hotel Exit

Worksheet Description

The “Giving Directions” worksheet is an educational activity that involves a map with various city locations, including Fort Grant, a business center, and hotels. Students are tasked with writing out directions from inside the hotel to Fort Grant, specifically starting from the hotel exit that opens onto Mitchell Street. The map provides a simplified layout of streets and landmarks to help guide the student’s instructions. Lines below the map are provided for students to write their directions in a clear and orderly manner.

This worksheet teaches students the practical skill of giving clear and concise directions based on spatial relationships and map reading. It encourages them to observe and interpret the spatial layout of a given area and to communicate a path from one point to another effectively. The task also enhances their ability to pay attention to detail and to sequence information logically. By completing this activity, students learn to translate a visual map into written instructions, a valuable skill for real-world navigation.
