How do you address geography in your history classes? At my school, the students do not have a geography class, so they come to my World History class with little to zero knowledge of the world's geography. For example, I spent a lot of time dispelling the idea that Africa is a country. My solution to this is that for every unit, my students will have a map quiz when they take the unit test. I give them the places they are responsible for learning where they are for the unit, and I have a map game they can play on their Chromebooks for each unit as a way to learn the locations of the places. So how do you teach geography in your classes, or do your students come to you knowing that Australia and Austria are not the same places and King Louis XVI was trying to make Austria, not Australia, during the French Revolution?
