Lesson details
Key learning points
- ‘Journey sticks’ help us remember what we saw during a fieldtrip.
- Sequencing photographs helps recall of a journey and places visited.
- Geographers make maps to show what places are like and to show routes.
- Models or maps made from memory are not usually very accurate, but show what is important to the maker.
Keywords

Symbol - A symbol is used to show an important landmark, place, feature or area of a map, diagram or drawing

Common misconception
You don't need to sequence images or photographs you took on your route.
Sequencing photographs (keeping them in the correct order) helps us to remember a route correctly and helps us find the correct end point (destination).
