21. Simple ways to add BOLTSS
Border// rule a line around the map to define its boundary.
Orientation// use a compass to establish north on the map … there is a free phone app of a compass.!!
Legend // use consistent colours or simple symbols.
Water features= blue Human features =black or red
Vegetation = green

22. Cont…
Title // A good map title has the location or name of the place it is illustrating.
Scale// For a reasonably accurate scale, without using technology, students can learn how many steps they take to cover a distance of10 metres. They can then pace out small areas reasonably simply using a scale.
Source // This will usually be the work of your student, but it may also acknowledge other data sources.
