The session was very interesting and gave the opportunity to learn many new things about map reading process. We find it as a very informative experience . Briefly below are some of the elements of the session.
· Some Selected students were given the following project:
On the google map, locate your home and neighbourhood around 1 to 2 km in diameter. Print the map on an A4/A3 paper.
Identify the new stores,buildings, and trees etc. that are not shown in the map and add those places.
