Objective | Tributes will be able to identify Relative Locations using Absolute Locations and explain the difference between each.
Key Terms |
Absolute Location: an exact place on a map or globe using longitude/latitude or a specific address.
Relative Location: A general location, connected or related to another location by distance and/or direction.
Step 1 | Do Now Good Morning! Yesterday, I received an urgent email for the Center for Disease Control (CDC). Please read it, and begin preparing a list of supplies we need for survival kits (write at least 5 things you think are the most important!).
How does your list compare to the CDC's list?
Step 2 | When the dead walk, every word matters | No time for second guessing our vocabulary.
The CDC has given us the Absolute Location of known infections. Absolute location is the exact place on a map or globe using longitude/latitude or a specific address.
For example, let's Google 1600 Clifton Road, Atlanta, GA 30333 USA, and see what we find. If we need to make a run for it, this location is good to know, right?
Relative Location: A general location, connected or related to another location by distance and/or direction. What if the CDC said we needed to meet them in Atlanta, Georgia; near Peavine Creek? Which location would you rather have when you're running for your brains? Why?
Step 3 | Discussion Why do you need to know the difference between Absolute and Relative locations when the Walkers come?
Above & Beyond

Step 4 | Longitude & Latitude map of the Contamination Zones
The CDC gave us the Absolute Location, aka GPS coordinates, of areas where infected persons have been seen. I need you, to use this map of Los Angeles, to figure out the Relative Location. How else will we alert our friends and family?
