Map Summer Assignment:
You are expected to have a general knowledge of European Geography before we begin our discussion of Modern European History. There are plenty of websites you can find not only maps of Europe, but also blank maps in which you may practice. Two that I use frequently are http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/testmaps/europe.gif and http://www.eduplace.com/ss/maps/europe.html. A good physical map of Europe is located at http://www.ezilon.com/maps/europe-physical-maps.html. Two websites that have been very useful for students in the past in studying for the map tests are: http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/European_Geography.htm http://www.lizardpoint.com/fun/geoquiz/euroquiz.html
