With and Without Country Names

I really love having maps that I can print out for my student to label and color. It makes teaching Geography so much easier with hands on projects.

The problem I always run into is it can be SO HARD to find a site that offers easily downloadable maps.

What is the deal with that? They either want a paid subscription to get hold of them, or you have to wade through a dozen questionable links and accidentally download something you didn’t want.

Africa Project

Currently, I am building curriculum for our Africa Studies. We are preparing a trip to multiple countries on the Continent and I want to take the time to familiarize my student with as much of it as possible before we set out.

It is a work in progress. I expect to take another couple weeks to piece it all together. In the meantime, I have created a couple printable maps and I wanted to share them.

There is no point in reinventing the wheel every single time when it comes to education. When I get our project packet completed, I will be sure to upload it on here too.

Even if you are not planning a trip to Africa, it should (hopefully) be a nice and free resource for your own schooling efforts. At home or in the classroom.

Current Itinerary

Our trip has not been finalized. Still working out all of the details, but I will be writing about the stops as we go.

Here is what we are planning for the first month of travel:

• South Africa (Cape Town)
• South Africa (Johannesburg)
• Botswana
• Zimbabwe
• Namibia
• Zambia
• Rwanda
• Kenya

As far as Zimbabwe, Namibia, and Zambia go, we are just going to be doing things at or near the boarders during our Botswana trip.

I have started writing about it a bit here.

Studies

If you are doing a unit on Africa, I would love to hear about it. Projects, trips, books, you name it!

Speaking of books, I am using Africa, Amazing Africa as one of our core resources. (This is an affiliate link, no extra cost to you, and no pressure to buy)
