    1b The children, in groups of three, complete a table relative to the public spaces found highlighting the relationship between SPACE / FUNCTION. Comparison of the work of different groups. Catalog types of services.

    The class is divided into groups and each is given a place. Starting from the school we reach the public places of our neighborhood, noting the route. To verify the accuracy we run the path backwards.
