The students will be given two handouts and divided into three groups (one teacher per group). Each group will go on a small nature hike around the school campus. They will use a compass and map to search for and locate various items.
Goals for this lecture: The goal for this lecture is to introduce basic orienteering skills. The students will learn simple map terminology and become familiar with giving and receiving directions in English.
