How to study for North/West Africa Countries/Capitals Quiz

Hello folks - here are two study tips (which I'll also discuss in class) for the upcoming North/West Africa countries and capitals quiz.  I've inserted a blank map of Africa into this post, which you can right-click and save onto your computer.  Use the map to make flash cards to study for the quiz like this:
  1. On one side of the card or paper, glue or tape a blank copy of this map. Write the name of a country, such as Nigeria, on the top of the card.
  2. Using the blank map and the name of the country, try to locate the country on the blank map.
  3. On the other side of the card, include a copy of the map and the name of the country on the top of the card.  Color or highlight the country's location so that you can see where it is on the map.
The other method of studying for the North/West Africa countries and capitals quiz is to use an index card.  Have the capital on one side of the card and country on the other side of the card.

The test will be on February 14th for Blue 2 and Everyday on February 15th for White 1 and White 2.  Spelling WILL count on the test because I will give you a word list.  That means that you do not have to memorize the spelling of each country and capital, but you will have to spell things correctly on the test because of the word list.
