Stars in your lives

This activity has been designed to be a stimulating and fun way of practicing map skills using OS maps

  • Key Stage Three,
  • Urbanisation, migration and society,
  • Fieldwork,
  • Map skills

Students imagine that they have won a competition to play host to their favourite celebrity for the day. They must design a route and itinerary which will give the celeb a flavour of their local area, taking into account the individual's likes and dislikes. The fieldwork involves walking the intended route and collecting geographical data (route description, field sketches, digital photos, grid references, etc.) to add to a plan of the route which will be sent to their celebrity in advance of their visit.
