3. Then, you need to visit that website: https://www.google.es/search?biw=1600&bih=789&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=Czb0W4HfKYy4kwXf_JSoBg&q=map+of+uk+empty&oq=map+of+uk+empty&gs_l=img.3..0i8i30.50131.50816..51100...0.0..0.147.627.0j5......1....1..gws-wiz-img.......0i19j0i8i30i19.BDp-BUQMiak ; and to copy a empty map of UK in a Word document. It's time to try to write the name of the different countries of UK at that document.
4. Finally, to understand the content after class and to know more information about it, you need to read that website at home with any member of your family: http://www.slipperysnake.co.uk/educational-materials/geography/united-kingdom/
A useful tool to understand some specific vocabulary is wordreference: http://www.wordreference.com/es/translation.asp?tranword=
Don't worry if you don't undestand something, this activity is to investigate about United Kingdom. You can write the questions that you have. Then, the whole class answer them.
