Navigating Directions Through Photos and Fun Activities

Matthew introduces the concept of cardinal directions using a map and compass rose. His class struggles to remember directions outside, so their teacher assigns an activity. They draw a map with a school and compass rose, then take photos of locations in each cardinal direction. Matthew initially confuses north and south with up and down but learns the correct understanding. He uses photos to create a map, helping him remember directions. Matthew encourages others to try the activity.
