Step 1: Understanding the Map

We are given a map of Lakeside Campground with a compass rose (a cross with an arrow pointing up) and a key that explains what each symbol means:

- 🏕️ = Tent
- 🏡 = Cabin
- 🚐 = Camping Trailer
- 🔥 = Campfire
- ⛵ = Rowboat
- 🟦 = Water
- 🟩 = Land

The compass rose has an arrow pointing up, which indicates North (N). So:
- Up = North
- Down = South
- Right = East
- Left = West

---

Step 2: Answering the Questions

#### 1. Label N, S, E, and W on the compass rose.
- The arrow points up → label it N.
- Then:
- Bottom → S
- Right → E
- Left → W

> ✔ So label the compass rose:
> - Top: N
> - Bottom: S
> - Right: E
> - Left: W

---

#### 2. Color the land green and the water blue.
- Land is the area outside the lake (the shaded area with symbols).
- Water is the lake and the island (shaded differently).

> ✔ Instructions:
> - Color the land (the left side of the map) green.
> - Color the water (right side, including the island) blue.

*(Note: This is a coloring task, so no written answer needed — just follow instructions.)*

Now let’s answer the directional questions using north, south, east, or west.

We will use the compass directions based on the labeled compass rose.

#### 3. The rowboats are ________ of the campfire.

- Locate the campfire (🔥): It's near the bottom center of the land.
- Locate the rowboats (⛵): They are on the water, to the right of the campfire.

Since right = East, the rowboats are east of the campfire.

✔ Answer: east

---

#### 4. The camping trailers are ________ of the tents.

- Tents (🏕️): Three tents are clustered in the center-left of the land.
- Camping trailers (🚐): Three trailers are located at the top-left of the map.

Compare their positions:
- The trailers are above the tents → north of them.

✔ Answer: north

---

#### 5. The cabins are ________ of the tents.

- Cabins (🏡): Two cabins are on the far left of the land.
- Tents: In the center-left.

So, the cabins are to the left of the tents → west.

✔ Answer: west

---

#### 6. The campfire is ________ of the camping trailers.

- Campfire: Bottom center.
- Camping trailers: Top-left.

From the trailers' perspective, the campfire is below and to the right.

But we need one direction:
- It's south of the trailers (since it's below), and slightly east, but primarily south.

Since the campfire is south of the trailers, and not significantly east or west, the best answer is south.

✔ Answer: south

---

#### 7. The island is ________ of the cabins.

- Island: A small shape in the middle of the lake (water).
- Cabins: On the far left of the land.

The island is to the right of the cabins → east.

✔ Answer: east

---

✔ Final Answers:

1. Label compass rose: N (top), S (bottom), E (right), W (left)
2. Color land green, water blue.
3. The rowboats are east of the campfire.
4. The camping trailers are north of the tents.
5. The cabins are west of the tents.
6. The campfire is south of the camping trailers.
7. The island is east of the cabins.
