Should consist of 3 three sentences. The first sentence should be a general statement, The second sentence should talk about what you can see and the third statement should tell the reader what you’re going to do

Body:

The body paragraph should generally describe the differences between the two maps as well as the positions of different things. Remember that this is only a summary so talk about the main changes. (It should be about 6 sentences long)

Conclusion: 

Start off your concluding paragraph with a concluding statement (like “To sum up” “To conclude”) then mention the biggest change and how things have changed overall.

Task: 

Have a look at the maps below what are the major changes that you can see share your ideas in the padlet link: https://padlet.com/philipgelwell/dm4efg1bdpb7
