How do you use maps in your AP World classroom?

Kathy Hays

Using maps helps students comprehend the complete historical narrative. The Unit One Mapping Activity is a fun way to introduce students to maps so they get comfortable using them throughout the course.

  • I like to incorporate maps into my quizzes.  I just showed a picture of the Great Mosque in Djenne, Mali and asked students to write a context statement addressing why there was a mosque in West Africa. (Unit 1.2)  I included a map of the Dar-al-Islam as a clue. I want the students to continually used regional geography to help them "place" historical processes and events.  This way they can do a better job with their comparisons, cause and effect and CCOT.  I am also lucky that I have a huge wall map.  It is labeled with all the AP regions and sub-regions.  I use it as a teaching tool and point out where I am lecturing about as needed.
