WORTH: 5% of semester grade

Your reading and class discussions will make much more sense to you if you are able to hang the new information you will be acquiring on a geographic framework---otherwise, it's just a sea of names.

Next class, I will present you with the map below and ask you to locate 10 of the following items on that blank map. I've linked to either Google-Maps or wikipedia entries that I have vetted (as only some wikipedia essays are accurate) for the location for each item below. For many of the places, I've also linked to relevant excerpts from trustworthy documentaries so that if you are not familiar with the location you can get some sense of its nature and importance. Although entirely optional, these short videos are both interesting in their own right and provide details that will help you memorize the location of the items below for the quiz.
