**Understanding and Comparing Maps: A Lesson Plan**
In this lesson plan, we will explore the concept of comparing two maps to understand changes made over time. This skill is essential for geography, urban planning, and many other fields where understanding spatial relationships and transformations is crucial.
The first part of our lesson focuses on creating a basic structure using respective or orderly words. We can make a structure using respectively or orderly here. For instance, we can compare the ponds for water plants with the glass house as per our cardinal directions. The corner to the north-east and south-east can be mentioned together using respectively. This demonstrates how these two facilities are situated in the northeast and south-east corner respectively.
In another example, three rose gardens and seeds are located at different places in the park. We cannot describe the exact location or direction of each seed or rose garden due to their numerous locations. Therefore, we can easily mention that they were present at various spots within the park.
Moving on to body paragraph one, we will focus on describing the layout of our first map. The goal is to compare this map with a second map, if possible, but it may be complicated for some students. Hence, we will concentrate solely on explaining the layout of our first map in detail.
**Comparing Maps: Categorizing Changes**
To analyze changes between two maps, we can categorize them into different types. The first category includes facilities that remain unchanged. In this case, we observe that the entrances to Arnold Avenue and Eldon Street have remained constant.
The second category comprises facilities that have been converted or replaced with something else. An interesting example is the rose garden, which has been transformed into a rectangular rose garden surrounded by seeds for visitors.
In another instance, the glass house has been converted into a water feature. Additionally, ponds for water plants have been converted into children's play areas. Furthermore, a stage has been converted into an amphitheater for concerts.
Another type of change includes newly built facilities that were not present in the previous map. For example, a car park facility has been added underground to accommodate more visitors.
Lastly, we have the category of demolished facilities, where buildings or structures that were once present have been removed. Unfortunately, there are no such facilities listed in our second map that have been completely demolished and replaced with new ones.
**Using Passive Voice in Writing**
To write about comparisons between two maps using passive voice, we must take care to use the correct verb forms. Whenever a facility remains unchanged or is not changing, it should be written in the active voice using "has remained" or "remains." For instance, "the entrance to Arnold Avenue and Eldon Street has remained constant."
However, when describing facilities that have undergone changes, we must switch to the passive voice using "has been converted," "has been replaced," or "has been constructed." In this case, we write about glass houses being converted into water features.
**Sample Map: A Complete Layout**
Let's take a closer look at our sample map and describe its layout. The entrance to Arnold Avenue and Eldon Street has remained constant, demonstrating stability in the park's infrastructure.
Furthermore, fountains have been replaced with rectangular rose gardens surrounded by seeds for visitors, showcasing a significant transformation in the park's design.
Glass houses have been converted into water features, while ponds for water plants have been transformed into children's play areas. The stage has also undergone a change, being converted into an amphitheater for concerts.
The car park facility has been newly added underground to accommodate more visitors, adding a modern touch to the park.
Lastly, we observe that some facilities have not changed or have been expanded. For example, cafes have replaced existing rose gardens, demonstrating flexibility in the park's layout.
