This was a Year 7 lesson based in Clitheroe. Pupils compared two maps (from different dates) and described how they had changed. Images from Google searches.
4. Task
Using the two maps
- Describe the many ways Clitheroe has
changed between 1847 and 2011
-Answers should be in full sentences.
For example:
1. There was a brewery in Clitheroe
in 1847, but there isn’t now (used
to be East of the castle).
6. What does the area around Clitheroe
look like?
Sketch maps: drawn from observation (rather
than from exact measurements) and
representing the main features of an area
Complete the blank sketch map of Clitheroe and
the villages around it
Use the OS map to help you
7.
8. Why did the original settlers chose
the area Clitheroe is in?
In pairs
Using the OS map
and the sketch map
Determine why
Clitheroe has grown
and begin writing a
short article on the
reasons the first
settlers chose the
area
9. How do settlements grow?
• Consider how Clitheroe has grown
• Annotate a sketch map of the area
• Determine the reasons why Clitheroe first
began
If the pupils colour code the different parts of the description this can help them ensure the description is full. For example: purple for the item, green for the dates, red for the compass directions and orange for the area.
