Product description

From the author

Study Namibia with twelve map layouts showing country outlines, settlement markers, labeled towns, rivers and neighboring countries. Four layouts are labeled and eight are unlabelled.

A 13-page PDF contains a title page and the twelve maps. Each map is also supplied as a PNG and JPEG, with a separate preview sheet explaining permitted incorporation into your own work. Choose a labeled reference or an unlabelled map for teacher-directed labeling, comparison or geography review.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Locate Windhoek and compare inland and coastal settlements

  • Identify the neighboring countries labeled on the regional maps: Angola, Zambia, Botswana and South Africa

  • Add selected labels to an unlabelled map

Teaching tips

  • The labelled and unlabelled versions of the same outline are supplied together, so one can be projected while students work on the other

  • The individual PNG and JPEG files carry the same twelve maps as the PDF, so a map can be placed on a slide or a task sheet without exporting a page first

  • Windhoek is set in capitals while the other fourteen towns are not, which gives students a visual cue for the capital before any labelling is done

Skills covered

  • Map reading using settlement dots, a capital star, borders and a coastline

  • Regional orientation using neighboring-country labels

  • Annotating an unlabelled outline with teacher-selected features
