Earning Points Each team gets 1 point for each correct answer in the Street orienteering (5 possible for each team). Each team gets 1 point for each of the 6 shared Landmark controls. The class gets 5 points for each of the 15 Team controls, plus all the teams Street and Landmark points. PENALTY: 1 point PER MINUTE if you are late returning to the Finish after the Team Challenge. (Bring a watch if you have one!) Class prizes: 130 points (the maximum): prize A 115 points: prize B 100 points: prize C
Keeping track of points Street controls: Answer card Landmark controls: Punch card Team controls: Envelope Bring all the cards and envelopes back to the Finish to be checked in, or else you wont get the points! When you find the puzzle envelope, bring back both the envelope and the flagging tape!
Safety Stay with your team at all times Return to the Start/Finish on time
Safety
Safety If you get confused, head to the south end of the pond Do not cross any roads with cars on them!
How to find South end of pond? Compass Sun (will be a little east of south) Use features on the map Asking a passer-by where the water treatment building is
Estimating distance 1:5,000 One centimeter on the map is 5,000 centimeters (___ meters) on the ground. How big is a centimeter? A pace is two steps. Approximately how many of your paces make 50 meters?
Orienting the map Hold the map parallel to the ground. Rotate the map until the map is correctly aligned to the ground. Features Compass Sun
Reading the Map
What next? Teams get together and decide who will have each role People with the same role get together and do specialized training Teams get back together and plan each leg of their route
Team Roles Planner Feature Reader Distance Estimator Direction Diviner Problem Solver Caretaker
Planner With the other planners, decide which team will get which of the Team controls Leadership: responsible for teamwork. make sure team members work together well and everyone is heard
Feature Reader Make sure the team is looking for features Know the symbols on the legend
Distance Estimator Understand what 1:5000 scale means Know how to pace count
Direction Diviner Know how to use the compass to orient the map Know how to use the sun to orient the map Make sure the team is heading the way they want to go
Problem Solver Offer solutions when there is a problem Ask others for suggestions when there is a problem Help team make compromises when necessary
Caretaker Make sure everyone is included Give positive feedback and cheer teammates on
How to plan a leg of your route A leg goes from one control to the next one. Agree on the best way to get from one control to the next. Use a highlighter to draw the route in on a map. Write down: What direction will you be heading when you leave the control at the beginning of the leg? What features will you see along the way? (Features include hills, reentrants, trail intersections, open areas, railroad, etc.) How many paces will the leg be? How many paces between features? What is the feature you are looking for at the next control?
Example Plan a route from 105 to L. Discuss this and then go to the next slide. Assume that 100 meters = 70 paces. Home base: Start and finish Start of leg End of leg Use this scale to estimate distance
Example: 105 to L Walk south along the trail from control 105. Along the way we will see the pond on our left beyond a fence, and a hill going up on our right. After 80 m (56 paces) we will take a trail on the right going up hill. The trail will bend to the left and then to the right. At the next bend to the left we will find our control L.
What next? Teams get together and decide who will have each role People with the same role get together and do specialized training Teams get back together and plan each leg of their route
