*Signs use symbols, colors, words or numbers to convey a message.
*Read signs can be a warning for driver safety (yellow signs), orders to be followed (red signs), or additional information (green signs).
*A sign with a cross through it signifies something cannot be done.
*Maps are a diagrammatic representation of an area of land or sea showing physical features such as cities, roads, buildings, etc.
*These visuals offer a bird's eye view of the location of things on a flat surface.
*Maps may have symbols and a key to explain the symbols.
Study this map. Read the labels and understand what they mean. Read the instructions next to the map. Study the words in colour.

-The Prince Royal's Collage is on the corner opposite the tennis court.
3.Understanding Diagram*Diagrams explain how things work, describe a process or different parts of an object.
*They can use arrows to show movement or labels to name the parts.
Study this diagram and the text below on the lifecycle of a butterfly.
A butterfly starts life from an egg. The larvaq or caterpillar hatches from the egg and constantly feeds on leaves or flowers. The caterpillar loses its old skin many times as it grows. It then transforms itself into a pupa or chrysalis; this is called the resting stage. Finally, a beautiful adult butterfly emerges. The adult butterfly will continue the cycle.
