Learning objectives
Label the four cardinal points on a compass rose
Position the four intermediate directions between the correct cardinal points

Teaching tips
Place north, south, east, and west first, then add each diagonal abbreviation between its two component directions.
Read NE as north plus east and repeat that construction for SE, NW, and SW.
Rotate neither the page nor the labels during review, so the compass orientation remains fixed.
Skills covered
Cardinal-direction labeling — N, S, E, and W are placed at the four main compass points.
Intermediate-direction reasoning — diagonal points combine adjacent cardinal directions.
Map-symbol use — learners apply the standard eight direction abbreviations to a compass rose.
