Describe the school's location TWO ways: (1) ABSOLUTE LOCATION using compass + scale; (2) RELATIVE LOCATION using nearby features.

Answer criteria
type two location descriptions
rubric
Both descriptions complete with correct elements = mastery
Hints
  1. Absolute = specific point (e.g., '3 miles south of town hall').
  2. Relative = in relation to nearby features (e.g., 'between the library and the park').
Misconceptions to watch
  • Children may confuse the two - absolute uses measurement, relative uses neighbors.
