Using Microsoft Word (or Open Office), first of all download a map of the Dengie from the internet.

Next insert the map into your document.

Then using insert and auto shapes you can annotate your own cycle lane or new road onto your map.

You can also include a text box to explain what you have added.

Experiment with changing the font and the colours of the boxes and arrows as well which is quite straightforward.

Once you have added some new roads and pathways we would like you to write a simple grid reference on to your map. You are going to superimpose the grid over the map using auto shapes. You can add more weight to them as shown below

When you have finished use text boxes with letters A – G and numbers 1 -7 on a separate axis then it is easier to identify parts of your map. You will use these skills next week when designing your transport system for the 21st Century!
