To The Big City

Worksheet Description

The “Giving Directions” worksheet displays a simplified map with various shops and landmarks along two streets, Main Street and Tulip Drive, with an offshoot to Highway 80 leading to a representation of a big city. Students are tasked with writing directions from the plant shop on Tulip Drive to the big city, and then from the city to the Game Stop. The worksheet provides a visual layout of the route options available, with clear illustrations of each shop and the highway. Below the map, there are lines for students to write their directions, encouraging them to translate the visual information into written instructions.

The objective of this worksheet is to develop students’ ability to give clear and concise directions using visual cues from a map. It teaches them how to recognize and describe routes, landmarks, and other navigational markers in a logical sequence. The exercise also helps students to use spatial vocabulary and to understand the concept of mapping out a journey from one point to another. Additionally, this activity enhances their skills in writing and communication, which are critical for real-life navigation and giving directions to others.
