- Maps of Europe, atlases, almanacs, and other resources providing information on Europe

• Where is Europe?
• What countries make up the European continent?
• What continents border Europe?

Divide the class into groups of three or four students each, and instruct the students in each group to share their responses and develop a group response to each question.
