Vocabulary
Words that might be unfamiliar to the learners are in the new word boxes in the margin of the Learner's Book. Make sure you draw attention to these as you go through the unit. When you read the text containing the new words, point out the new words in the context where they are used. Encourage learners to use the new words in their own sentences.
Pacing This unit will take about five hours to complete. There are five activities in this unit.
TIP! Activity 1 Write key words on the board so that learners can focus on the main points. Locate places on a map of the world Background information
In combination, latitude and longitude can tell you the exact location of any place on the planet, but it gives no information about the depth or altitude of the location. The fancy word for the web that is formed by latitude and longitude is ‘conjugate graticule’. Learners do not need to learn this term, but it might help you if you look for additional information.
Guidelines to implement this activity
As an extension or remedial activity once the learners have finished answering the questions in the activity, get them to work in pairs. Each learner takes a turn to give the co-ordinates of an island or city and the other has to locate it on the map.
