Review Maps

Here are the maps that I use at the beginning of Socials 10 for review. Maps are the stereotypical socials activity that I try to avoid "all we did all year was colour maps", but find myself using more all the time. Maps provide a good visual, and a break from 'facts'. I found myself referring to places and events in Europe quite often in Socials 10 (plus in Socials 11, students will have to add to their understanding of European countries). 

I use this map (Map of Europe), and just have students label and colour the following places: Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, England, London, Ireland, Scotland, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Rome.

I then use this map (Map of Eastern Canada) as part of my review of early contact. The students label 

Landmarks: North America, South America, Hudson’s Bay, Atlantic Ocean, St. Laurence River, Newfoundland

First Nations: Cree, Obijwa, Huron,  Iroquois, Algonquin, Malecite, Mi'kmaq, Innu, Beothuk

Explorers: Jacques Cartier, Henry Hudson, Sir Walter Raleigh

Early Settlements: York, Jamestown, Montreal, Quebec City
