Summary:

This is a lesson to introduce the compass rose. It gives the students a brief history lesson on the compass rose. It also explains cardinal and medial directions. There is a slide at the end that has the web address to where a worksheet can be found. I also give them a worksheet that is a little more involved with labeling the compass rose. (This worksheet is from "Practice Makes Perfect: Map Skills" put out by Teacher Created Resources, Inc.) I have also placed the compasses into my gallery and use them on various maps for students to move around when finding directions. It has seemed to help with their comprehension of this skill.
