    World History 9 Geography Test

    World History 9 Geography Test

    May 6, 2010


    Many of you did very well on the Phoenician map quiz - here is opportunity to do so again on a larger scale!

    This assessment (50 questions – multiple choice and matching) will test your ability to:

    1. interpret maps - we will do some practice problems, but this is not a portion of the test you will need to study for
    2. match labeled features on a series of maps with the place names on the following list:

      Download file "WH9 GeoTest terms.pdf"

    3. associate the place names with key historical developments up to the year 1500 CE. In other words, a question might require you know the Babylonians were in Mesopotamia or that Mesopotamia is Greek for “between the rivers;” another question may require you know the Olmec and Maya both developed in the same part of Mesoamerica. The majority of these place names (and their historical significance) can be found, with accompanying maps, in this overview text, "World History & Geography." The following maps might be helpful:
      1. Continents, oceans and climate
      2. Ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt and Africa
      3. Ancient India and China
      4. Ancient Greece and Rome
      5. Early Middle Ages
      6. Late Middle Ages

    How should you prepare?

    • Look up the terms in the "World History & Geography" and take notes on their historic significance (hint: use the search function in your .pdf viewer to quickly locate the place where each term can be found in the text - no need to print out the whole thing)
    • Plot them on blank, outline maps (here's an Eastern Hemisphere one to get you started)
    • Practice, practice, practice
