    Locating Of The Study Area Every geographic study is located somewhere. This study requires that at least two maps must be
    presented. The location of the study must be a small area, for example a stretch of beach, a section of a
    town or your school compound.
    The first map should show the general location of the study area, that is, the region in the country where
    the study is located. This map should show features close to the study area. This may be a parish map
    showing the general location of the study site. This is called the location map.
    The second map, the site map, shows the area covered by the study in more detail. This map is
    usually drawn from field observation.
    Make sure that both maps is clear and neat and have a border, a scale, a north point, a key and a
    caption/title. The use of appropriate colour and symbols. Both maps should be hand drawn.

    you observe, you interview, you measure, you sample and you conduct surveys.
    SECONDARY data consist of data researched from information obtained from text books,
    government statistics, newspapers and maps.

    Remember you must not plagiarise, and you must make reference in your bibliography to any
    written material that you use.

    You must use at least three different types of illustration in your presentation. Illustrations must be
    accurate, relevant, neat, clearly labelled and titled and well integrated into the account. The illustrations
    should be relevant to the account. You should make frequent reference to your illustrations and
    diagrams.
    The account is the written statement of your findings, with the results of your interview, survey or field
    measurements and observations. The account is like an essay, with an introduction and paragraphs
    interlaced with illustration all organised around the aims.
    Your presentation and account should be related to your aims(s). So if your aim was to examine and
    illustrate, your presentation should describe that role using various illustration. your account should not

    be more than 1,500 words long. You should use headings to break your work into sections. It is best to
    start each section on a new page.
