  • In a social studies class, keep this resource handy so you can always familiarize your class members with the geography of a world region you are about to study
  • Have each student develop a unique key for their individual outline map to address whatever learning objectives you are focusing on (e.g. highlighting major battles, demographics, colonization, etc.)

Pros

  • Includes 21 outline maps from around the world
  • Each map is hyperlinked on an introduction page for easy reference
