1 WORKSHOP 6 LOCATION: POSITIONS AND CHECKLINES Positions and checklines Orientation concern imaginary spatial movement. Positions and checklines concern taking different viewpoints. When you use scale-models you can imagine that you take different viewpoints to look at something, in order to describe what can be seen from these different viewpoints or then is invisible. We call this view change The idea is to mentally place yourself in someone else s viewpoint to imagine what someone else can see from his position. These kinds of experiences make children conscious of the relationship between their personal viewpoint and the spatial position of objects. What do you need? Green A4-paper, 'worldgame materials on the farm. A show-box with 5 peep holes, 12 Blocks. 1
