Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Locate Namibia's capital, Windhoek, and place it against the coastal towns of Walvis Bay, Swakopmund and Lüderitz
Name the countries bordering Namibia to the north and east — Angola, Zambia and Botswana
Identify the rivers marked along Namibia's northern edge, including the Okavango, the Chobe and the Zambezi
Distinguish Namibia's coastal settlements from its inland ones using the spread of the fifteen named places

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
Four levels of detail are available on the identical outline, which lets a single map be reused as a lesson moves from the country alone to its rivers and then to its neighbours
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
The maps carry no printed questions or directions, so the task around them — labelling, colouring, comparing, testing — is set by the teacher

Skills covered

Map reading — students read a country outline that carries fifteen named settlements and locate each one against the coast, the borders and the capital.
Regional orientation — the versions naming Angola, Zambia and Botswana place Namibia inside southern Africa rather than showing it in isolation.
Physical geography — the river maps mark the Okavango, Chobe and Zambezi along the northern edge, separating water features from settlement.
Working from a blank outline — the unlabelled sheets carry the same borders without any printed names, so students can add features themselves.
Classroom map preparation — teachers pick the level of detail a lesson needs from four labelled versions of one outline and print or project it.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How do the twelve maps differ from one another?

Four of them carry printed labels and eight do not. The labelled four build up in layers on the same outline: towns alone; towns with the Okavango and Chobe rivers; towns with Angola, Zambia and Botswana named across the borders; and a final version carrying rivers and neighbours together, with the Zambezi added.

Which places are named on the labelled maps?

Fifteen. Windhoek is set in capitals in the centre. Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, Lüderitz and Oranjemund run down the coast; Oshakati, Rundu, Katima Mulilo and Tsumeb sit across the north; and Khorixas, Otjiwarongo, Gobabis, Rehoboth, Mariental and Keetmanshoop fill the interior and the south.

Does the set show Namibia on its own or in its regional setting?

Both, on the same outline. Two of the labelled maps show Namibia alone with its towns and rivers; the other two name Angola to the north, Zambia to the north-east and Botswana to the east. The same base map therefore serves a single-country study and a southern Africa lesson without a change of projection or scale.
