On the last screen you notice that we said "don't choose a place that is too small."
But you may want to study just the area around your school.
The way to do that is
First:
Choose a bigger area (your town, borough, rural district, or whatever)that is big enough to get general information. Call this "Introduction to the area where I live"
Then:
You can set your detailed study within this. The general view also gives you pointers as to what may be of interest in your local area: its history, the fact that it is by a river, a coast and so on.
