Lesson 3 DRAWING A MAP Unit 5
Objectives:
On completion of this lesson, students will be able to:
• Draw a map of Nepal by various methods.
• Put various facts on a map.
We may have learnt to draw many different things in the school. Let us
add another type of drawing to that list—drawing a map. Drawing maps
is a fun; it is interesting and very useful. Before learning the various ways
of drawing maps, let us first know what a map is.
What is a map?
A map is the representation of the earth's surface on a flat piece of paper.
A map gives us a lot of information about a place. Maps are always drawn
according to scale. That is why, some maps are big and some are small.
