POINTS OF INTEREST: An enchanting selection of museums, mystical must-knows and place names that’ll give you the shivers. These map skills lesson plans are perfect for teaching your class or child about this most important of life skills. Whether you'd like to teach a one-off lesson or a whole unit on the topic, you'll find everything you need in this fantastic collection of teacher-made resources. What's more, everything you'll find here is designed in accordance with the National Curriculum aims for geography, so that you can be sure you're teaching only the relevant content to your class or child. What do these map skills lesson plans contain? GHOSTLY GOINGS-ON: A spooky selection of more than 500 haunted spots, all guaranteed to give you goosebumps. A visit to Dylan Thomas's “ugly lovely town” should take in his childhood home (now a museum) and the Kardomah Cafe (relocated), where Swansea's most famous son and his pals met to talk about "music and poetry and painting and politics, Einstein and Epstein, Stravinsky and Greta Garbo, death and religion, Picasso and girls." Swansea also gave us Amy Dillwyn, whose novel The Rebecca Rioter was inspired by the true story of Welsh protesters dressed as women in the 1840s, and Joe Dunthorne, whose debut novel Submarine is set in Swansea. His second, Wild Abandon, is set in the beautiful Gower peninsula, where Thomas once got stranded overnight, on the Worm's Head. Eek. Stratford-upon-avon Gwynedd and its surrounds have some of the best examples of medieval military architecture in Europe - and it’s all down to Edward I. Keen to rid the Welsh of the frankly ridiculous idea that they should rule their own country, he built castles as though his life depended on it (and it probably did). Harlech, Caernarfon, Beaumaris on Anglesey and Conwy’s eponymous fortress all went up during Edward’s reign. He also put up fortified towns at Caernarfon and Conwy. When you’re not collecting castles, visit the area’s historic slate mines and let off steam at the Narrow Gauge Railway Museum. YorkWhat isn’t great about a map that features every rude and silly place name in Britain? Nothing, that’s what.” — Stylist Magazine End Product Details So I was drinking a cup of tea while reading the Telegraph, because I am nothing if not a gigantic cliché of Britishness, when I came across what is to be the hottest gift for Christmas in the UK…” — Right This Minute The 'Point of the Peak' is a subsidiary summit of Waun Rydd in the Brecon Beacons national park, and part of the classic horseshoe walk that takes in Pen y Fan. Disappointingly, Fan y Bîg was remeasured and downgraded from a mountain to a mere hill in 2018, but even though its technical status may have changed, it's clear the influence of this amusingly-named geographical feature is nothing less than mountainous. Close by is another legend of a hill, Lord Hereford's Knob. Pants MYSTERIES & MAGIC: Over 300 places wreathed in tales of witchcraft, devilry, superstition and ancient mystery. These maps are a delight to those of us who still love unfolding paper concertinas and finding what we're looking for. They could be a brilliant teaching resource for whole-class travels, adventures and learning about mapping/geography/UK/history ... and so much more”
