We will be using this technological interactive tool to map our excursion trip from school to the hospital.
Think about the best route the bus could take and bring the directions to class on Tuesday.

During our Technology lesson yesterday we used the tool Scribble Maps to look at three different routes the bus could use to take us to the hospital for our excursion.
Cameron's suggestion is Route 1. Down Main Street across the Forgan Bridge and up Sams Road.
Beth's suggestion is Route 2. Down Bridge Road across Hospital Bridge and up Heaths Road.
Greg's suggestion is Route 3. Along Bruce Hwy, across Ron Camm Bridge and up Sams Road.
In your preassigned groups use a PMI to consider your groups' route.
- Think about what are the PLUSES for your route,
- what are the MINUSES about the route and
- what is INTERESTING about your route.

The most popular Route is Beth's suggestion - Route 2.
Plus | Minus | Interesting |
· Shortest route (by RACQ trip planner online tool) · Less traffic than Bruce Hwy route · Less time sitting on the bus. · Less traffic lights. | · Scenery is boring. · May be smoke from cane fires as it is a rural area. | · Go past the construction area at the Base Hospital. · May be cane fires as it is a rural area. |

Before Monday write the directions from the school to the hospital as if you were telling someone who was new to Mackay.
Use the Scribble Map tool and also record landmarks and descriptors you noted during the excursion.
Example: Turn right into Heaths Road at the roundabout, there will be a pink pig made out of hay on your right and cane fields on the left.
