Description: "Compass Rose Introduction" explains that compass roses are usually on maps and what each of the four, main letters stand for. This is a simple explanation and truly an introduction. It has a few comprehension questions below the paragraph. This can easily be used as an introduction before any discussion or it could be used as a refresher after you have introduced your class to a compass rose. This is also a great way to connect social studies and/or geography to reading Illustrations with captions have been added to the text to reinforce some details. Please NOTE: The last page asks students to describe the given compass rose. It requires the student to type his or her answer which is submitted for the teacher to grade later. If you do not wish to have this page, you can simply HIDE this card before you assign it.
