| Title | More Ideas for Lessons on Directions and Locations |
| Body | Here are two more ideas for applied practice of directions and locations. These activities involve oral practice in pairs or in groups using paper maps or living maps created with objects in the classroom. ---- I did this today in my Russian class. It helps students get the distinction between unidirectional verbs and multidirectional/round trip verbs. I give them a city with various buildings and streets already labeled. They get in small groups and decide what course the "detective" will take through the city looking for his man. They give only the starting point, and from there, just directions. The other teams have to figure out from those directions, read aloud, where the detective ends up. Barrett, P. Re: Asking/Giving Directions Activities. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv.

(Boxes, plastic traffic cones, posters, etc.) The kids had to break into pairs and give each other directions to a specific location, like the library, etc. I have also had them lead each other through the school, but you have to have a really well-behaved, focused group to do it!!
