Activity Procedures:

Activity One:

• ask your student to identify the major subway routes in Toronto (e.g.: Bloor-Danforth line)
• record the routes as he tells them to you
• once you have gone through the list verbally, have him record the names of the stations under the appropriate headings (e.g.: Bloor-Danforth line: Kipling, Islington)

Activity Two:

• give your student the handout, Subway Stops
• ask him to label the major subway routes (e.g. Bloor-Danforth line)
• now ask him to identify and label as many of the subway stops traveling west from Yonge along the Bloor-Danforth line
• next ask him to identify and label as may stops traveling east from Yonge on the Bloor-Danforth line
• continue to do this for each of the routes (northbound and southbound lines)

Activity Three:

• review the key vocabulary list with your student
• have him go back to the handout, Subway Stops and fill in any of the stations that he missed

Activity Four:

• review the terms: northbound, southbound, eastbound and westbound
• ask your student to identify which way you would be traveling from different points to arrive at various destinations (e.g.: If I am traveling from St. Clair to Bloor on the Yonge Subway Line which way am I going?)
• prepare a handout of destinations and starting points and have your student record which subway route he would use and direction he would be traveling
