Lesson plan: Placing India in the world
From The Clothes Line online resource
Age group: 7 - 11
Aims:
To place India in relation to the locality of the children in the
classroom.
What to do:
Hang a signpost in the classroom which points south-east (from your
school). In pairs, ask children to use their own knowledge, and
local, national and world maps, to draw up a list of places in that
direction stretching out to India. They should list each country
and continent they pass over and discuss what form of travel they
would use. You can extend the activity by asking them to find the
capital city of each country they travel through and each sea or
ocean crossed.
