Worksheet Description

This “Giving Directions” worksheet features a map-like representation of a campus or similar area with labeled buildings and locations, such as the Student Union, McPherson Square, Stadium, School of the Arts, Park, and Greek Fraternity Houses. The worksheet instructs students to write out directions for navigating from one location to another, with specific starting points and destinations given. The students are prompted to write directions for three different routes, such as from the Student Union to the Greek Fraternity Houses. The layout is designed to encourage students to conceptualize the spatial layout of the map and articulate clear paths between locations.

The worksheet is intended to help students develop their spatial awareness and ability to give detailed, coherent directions. It encourages them to engage with map-reading concepts and translate spatial relationships into verbal instructions. The exercise also helps students practice following and giving directions based on landmarks and street names, a practical skill for real-world navigation. By completing this activity, students can improve their descriptive language skills and their ability to visualize and plan routes in a structured environment.
