- Overheads of maps completed during previous sessions
- Overhead quiz of selected locations from previous sessions
- Blank outline world map for each student (and one on the overhead for teacher use)
- Colored pencils and/or markers
- A six-sided die
- Preferred teacher resources
NOTE: The following Web resource may be helpful for locating maps:
- Administer a quiz on map locations. The quiz may include empires and/or geographic locations.
- After the quiz, review as a class the three maps from the previous session. Ask selected students to point out locations on a large class map.
- Distribute blank outline world maps and colored pencils. Instruct students to use their textbooks and other sources to develop a color-coded map reflecting the location of the five major world religions around 1500 a.d. An option is to have the actual color code on the back in order to foster studying. If desired, have students work in pairs, or work with students to color code a map on the overhead.
- Have students take a few minutes to study this map alone or in pairs. Together as a class, practice locating the five religions on an overhead of the map.
- If time permits, split students into groups of three. In their groups have them study all four maps, which include the three from previous sessions. Allot 5-7 minutes for this process. Explain that you will roll a die to see which person on each team will be chosen to identify the locations on a map. Each student will have to pick a different two numbers between 1 and 6 so that all six sides of the die are taken. Once time is up for studying, rapidly go through each team, rolling the die to choose the person and have him/her identify locations on one of the maps. Give one point for each correct location (or 10 points for a correct map). Play as many rounds as desired or as time allows.
- Instruct students to study all four maps for a quiz during the next session.
