4 Teaching Strategies A good understanding of geography and location is critical in the study of world history. The key events, people, and processes of history are tied to specific places and regions in the world, and the geography of these places and regions can have a major influence on historical events. To help your students make the connections between geography and world history, this book contains blank outline masters for 33 maps from Holt World History: Human Legacy. Each of these maps was created specifically to be used with this program and is based on one or more maps from the student textbook. Some of the maps, such as India or Southeast Asia, are general enough that they can be used in multiple units or time frames, both ancient and modern. Others, such as Napoleon s Empire, 1812 or World War II in Europe and North Africa, are specific to a given time and place and are tied directly to one or more maps in the textbook. You can use the maps in this book in many different ways. For example, your students can use these maps to preview content and get situated in time and place, learn and reinforce content, critically analyze content, or review content. You can direct students to refer to specific maps in the textbook and atlas as they work. You can enlarge the maps onto 11x17 inch paper to make them easier to work with. You can also enlarge just part of a map, such as the region of West Africa on the Africa map, to focus in on a certain area. However you decide to use these outline maps in your classroom, we hope that you will have your students go beyond simply locating things like events, empires, trade routes, or countries. Of course, knowing locations in history is essential background knowledge for students and is a great place to start. The most basic use of a historical map is probably just to see where something happened or what a region was like in the past. But don t stop there! After your students know where something was located, ask them to analyze the information to understand why it was located there. Then go even further by asking them to analyze the significance of this location on people, places, and history. For example, you could use the World War II in the Pacific map to have students identify where the major battles of the Pacific were fought. Then ask students to speculate about how physical and political geography might have influenced the location of these battles as well as the battles themselves. Finally, ask your students to analyze how the geography of the Pacific was significant in the history of World War II. Following are some teaching strategies that you can use in the classroom with historical outline maps. Below each strategy are some activity ideas, along with an example for a specific map in this book. Note that most of these activities require students to take a step beyond simply transferring data from one map to another by asking them to describe, summarize, analyze, compare, contrast, draw conclusions, or predict. We hope you find some of these suggestions useful, but keep in mind that they are only suggestions. You can modify and adapt these suggestions to suit your own needs and goals and you can create new activities as you see fit. Use maps to learn physical geography and analyze how it can affect history. Label geographical features on a historical battle map to analyze how those features affected troop movements and battle outcomes. Label geographical features on a trade map to analyze how those features affected trade routes and the movement of goods. Label geographical features on a political map to analyze how those features affected borders. Transfer climate or resource data from atlases to historical maps and draw conclusions about the effect of these factors on events. Example: Use the map of The World to show Atlantic and Pacific ocean currents, wind patterns, and the routes of explorers during the Age of Exploration. Describe how the currents and winds may have affected the explorers voyages. iv World History Outline Maps

5 Teaching Strategies Compare maps to show differences between then and now. Compare historical maps of ancient civilizations to modern political maps to see in which modern countries the civilizations were located and if ancient borders correlate to modern ones. On a modern political map, draw outlines of previous political entities, such as European colonies in the Americas on a map of the Americas today, and describe how the region has changed over time. Compare a historical map to a modern map to analyze how people s knowledge of the world around them has changed over time. Example: Compare the map of Independence in Latin America to an early explorers map to show that coastlines were better known and more accurately drawn than the interior. Use historical maps to solve problems. Study the boundaries and geography of countries or empires to analyze how their leaders might have had to defend their territories, maintain control, or foster communication and trade. Use historical maps to plan the best route from one place to another, considering physical geography and the transportation technology of the time. Use historical maps to select suitable locations for settlements or cities. Example: Use the map of The Roman Empire to estimate the length of the northern boundary and its distance from key cities. Identify cities or regions that may have been in danger from invaders beyond Rome s borders and create a plan to defend the northern border. Use historical maps to make connections between time and place. Create and compare a series of historical maps of the same region at different time periods. Use historical migration or route maps to study how the movement of something from one place to another can affect places over time. Compare historical and modern maps to analyze how life has changed over time in a certain place in terms of technology, the environment, political geography, resource use, or other factors. Example: Use the map of Imperialism in Africa and a map of Africa today along with information from the textbook to answer the question: How did imperialism in Africa in the late 1800s and in the 1900s influence Africa today? Use historical maps as the basis for creative assignments. Illustrate or annotate a historical map with photographs or illustrations tied to the map s content. Use a historical map to plan a journey and write a travelogue describing the geographical features and places visited along the way. On the back of a historical map, identify three key things that the map shows and why each is significant. Example: Use the map of The Silk Roads as the basis for a travelogue. Describe the goods being carried by merchants, the physical environments encountered during the journey, and the people and cultures along the way. v World History Outline Maps
