Tips
for completing the map:
Students should work from the finished map shown on the Internet support site or from our overhead transparency map collection. Emphasize neatness from the beginning! It's a good idea to have students color Germany and Italy first, using a red color pencil. Remind students to shade the land areas very lightly, so the labels and borders will not be obscured. Then have students do the areas conquered by the Axis powers, using orange. The dotted line will help students place the shading correctly in Russia and North Africa. Next, students can color the areas controlled by the Allies in mid-1942, and the neutral nations. Be sure to point out Dunkirk and the Normandy Beaches in France, and the Suez Canal in Egypt. All played important roles in the war. The Atlantic Ocean and the seas can be done last in light blue. Use a # 2 pencil for labeling them, since color pencils don't do lettering very well. A blue ball-point pen can be used, but of course a mistake in ink cannot be erased. |
