Map Quiz Component for Exam #1

Part of the whole "geography" thing is being able to discuss current and historical events intelligently. You can only do that if you know where the places these events occur (or occurred) are located. So, part of Exam #1 involves map locations.

For the four regions we’re studying for Exam #1, you will familiarize yourself with the locations of their most important places. Each world region has 15 study locations. Only 5 of them from each region will be on your midterm but you won’t know which in advance. There is a total of 20 midterm questions that come from the map locations (5 from each region @ 4 regions = 20 place names).

East Asia base map

Europe base map

Africa base map

Study guide: place names

To locate the place names on the study guide, print out the base maps for each region. Use your textbook or an atlas to find these places. On your midterm you will have numbers on these same blank maps maps. On the midterm itself, each number will have four place name choices. You will identify the correct one for that place on the map and bubble-in the correct answer for that number.


Sounds easy as pie – and it is! – but you will need to study up.
