Austria's eight bordering countries are the subject of a labeling exercise where students circle the neighboring countries on a map and then write each of the eight names on numbered lines. A second page asks students to name Austria's capital city and fill in the blanks identifying the Danube River along with its source and mouth. A third page prompts students to list activities that can be done in the Alps and then draw a picture of one chosen activity, extending the geography content into a short creative-response task. The supplied map labels neighboring countries, with some names abbreviated, and marks Vienna. Use an atlas to expand the abbreviations and research the Danube and Alps; no answer key is supplied. Students who need a refresher on basic map-reading skills before locating Austria's neighbors can review cardinal directions and the compass rose first.
