What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Look at local photos and maps to find buildings, roads, trees, and other features. Take a photo and draw a simple map to show where nearby features are.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can point out a road and building as human-built, and a tree or creek as part of the physical environment. Their map places those features where they appear in a local photo.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may call a road natural because it is outdoors. They may draw a picture of one place instead of a map that shows where several places are.
How to Assess It
- Show a photo of a nearby block with a building, road, and tree. Ask students to sketch a map of the block and circle what people built.

Give pairs a neighborhood map and three local photo cards to place at matching spots.
Use a photo of a nearby park and a local map to draw a walking route from school.
