Over Tuesday's lunch hour this week I decided to stop in and visit Austin at his Academie Duello sword play and history class and see how his day was going. When I got there they were busily pouring over a "map" of Europe and North Africa trying to put it back together again. One of the teachers had traced out a map of Europe where the various regions were based on the various "peoples" or cultures onto different colored bristol board then cut out the individual pieces. The students were then busily putting them back together kind of like a puzzle (without the picture to guide them).
Feedback from the teacher was that Austin really nailed this game and really demonstrated a great sense of geographical awareness.
And for those who are curious. I found the image for this post here: http://www.eupedia.com/europe/maps_of_europe.shtml. Lots of interesting geographical statistics visualized.
