A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Select the outline for recognition or the boundary page for labelling. Use page 3 to check the four names; there are no scripted questions or separate key.
- Compare the outline and boundary versions. Introduce the four constituent-country names shown on the final page.
- Have learners label the boundary page or point to a named country. Practise sentences such as Scotland is north of England.
- Give a partner a location clue and check the identification on the named map. Keep language answers flexible while checking names accurately.
Support and extension
Support with a four-name bank. Extend by distinguishing the United Kingdom from Great Britain using teacher explanation; this resource does not provide cities, counties or detailed travel routes.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
