Geography: Countries Bordering Austria

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. No answer key or word bank is present in the file, so students must supply the facts from prior instruction or outside research. Students who need a refresher on basic map-reading skills before locating Austria's neighbors can review cardinal directions and the compass rose first.
