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, or an erasable ink pen,
since color pencils don't
do lettering very well. Remind students to check that they put
the correct colors in the map key. |
