National Fieldwork Week Ideas #26: The Language of Landscape

Throughout May I shall share ideas for National Fieldwork Week - one per day...

Find out more about National Fieldwork Week here. 

The booklet can be downloaded from the Government's web archive. It's a 12-page PDF document.

It starts with a look at mapping and how to use an OS Map, then follows up with some activities such as speed folding.

The last section includes reference to some activity cards which can be used with any OS map sheet or extract.

There is also an activity to produce an illustrated map for a walk, using imagery from Geograph.

The week has the theme of CHANGE.

If you do use this, or any other of the ideas I share, please let us know about what you do. We will be asking people to share their outcomes in various ways. Remember that the theme is CHANGE.

Use the hashtag: #nationalfieldworkweek

Don't forget as well that we have a special certificate that you can download and give to all the students who participate in National Fieldwork Week.
