Europe Sorting Mats Countries of the World Sorting Mats Europe Created by: Randi Smith Teacher Directions European Sorting Mats These sorting mats are great for approximately 3rd-9th graders to learn about and/or review their knowledge of countries. Print on card stock, slide sorting mats and answer keys into page protectors and cut apart sorting cards. You may laminate if desired. Have students lay out five mats and the corresponding cards around the mats. Then, have them use their knowledge and critical thinking skills to match the cards to the sorting mats. They may need to research some of the answers. For younger children, you may choose not to lay out some of the cards, such as government structure. The answer key is included to allow students to self-check their work after completing the sorting mats. Note: When not in use, I store cards in plastic bags and then slide the cards, mats, and answer keys into a slot of an expandable folder that holds all of our sorting mats. ©2020 Randi Smith www.peanutbutterfishlessons.com Additional Activities 1. Find each country on a globe or world map. 2. Look up videos of people speaking the languages of the different countries. 3. Look up recipes for some of the foods and make them! 4. Lay the countries out in a sequential row or column based upon their areas or their populations. (You many want to use all 10 countries for this.) 5. Calculate the population density of each country by dividing the number of people by the area. The answer will be reported in “people per square mile”. Place countries in a sequence based upon their population density. How does this change the order from #1? Discuss the challenges of low vs. high density countries. 6. Look up the different government structures of each country. Write a short summary of each type and/or make a chart showing the similarities and differences of each type. 7. Research more about each country…the terrain/biomes, history, arts and culture, etc. ©2020 Randi Smith www.peanutbutterfishlessons.com Try our other Sorting Mats: Check-out: Our blog: www.peanutbutterfishlessons.com Our store: www.peanutbutterfishlessons.com/shop Credits Pictures used are either in the US Public Domain, have a photo credit noted or are supplied by: ©2020 Randi Smith www.peanutbutterfishlessons.com European Countries Set 1 Set 2 Set 3 Russia Spain Netherlands Germany Poland Belgium France Ukraine Greece Italy Romania Czech Republic United Kingdom Kazakhstan Sweden ©2020 Randi Smith www.peanutbutterfishlessons.com European Countries These countries are included in this packet and the color of their mats and cards are noted here. ©2020 Randi Smith www.peanutbutterfishlessons.com Russia Government Structure Flag Map Area/ Population Language(s) Spoken Largest City Food Currency Religion Food ©2020 Randi Smith www.peanutbutterfishlessons.com Germany Government Structure Flag Map Area/ Population Language(s) Spoken Largest City Food Currency Religion Food ©2020 Randi Smith www.peanutbutterfishlessons.com France Government Structure Flag Map Area/ Population Language(s) Spoken Largest City Food Currency Religion Food ©2020 Randi Smith www.peanutbutterfishlessons.com Italy Government Structure Flag Map Area/ Population Language(s) Spoken Largest City Food Currency Religion Food ©2020 Randi Smith www.peanutbutterfishlessons.com United Kingdom Government Structure Flag Map Area/ Population Language(s) Spoken Largest City Food Currency Religion Food ©2020 Randi Smith www.peanutbutterfishlessons.com Cut - out Pieces for Europe Capital Capital Capital Capital ©2020 Randi Smith www.peanutbutterfishlessons.com Russian Area Capital 17,098,246 km2 Cut - German Population out Pieces for 146,745,098 French 2020 est.

  • The Flavour Thesaurus
    The Flavor Thesaurus A Compendium of Pairings, Recipes and Ideas for the Creative Cook Niki Segnit It seems fitting to dedicate this book to a pair: my cooking adviser and mother, Marian Stevens, and my writing adviser and husband, Nat Segnit. Contents Introduction ROASTED MEATY CHEESY EARTHY MUSTARDY SULFUROUS MARINE BRINE & SALT GREEN & GRASSY SPICY WOODLAND FRESH FRUITY CREAMY FRUITY CITRUSY BERRY & BUSH FLORAL FRUITY Bibliography A Note on the Author Copyright Page “. lamb and apricots are one of those combinations which exist together in a relation that is not just complementary but that seems to partake of a higher order of inevitability—a taste which exists in the mind of God. These combinations have the quality of a logical discovery: bacon and eggs, rice and soy sauce, Sauternes and foie gras, white truffles and pasta, steak-frites, strawberries and cream, lamb and garlic, Armagnac and prunes, port and Stilton, fish soup and rouille, chicken and mushrooms; to the committed explorer of the senses, the first experience of any of them will have an impact comparable with an astronomer’s discovery of a new planet.” John Lanchester, The Debt to Pleasure Introduction I hadn’t realized the depth of my dependence on cookbooks until I noticed that my copy of Elizabeth David’s French Provincial Cooking had fingernail marks running below the recipes. Here was stark evidence of my timidity, an insistence on clinging to a set of instructions, like a handrail in the dark, when after twenty years of cooking I should surely have been well enough versed in the basics to let go and trust my instincts.
