SS6G7 Locate selected features of Europe.
The Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) states, "Standard G7 is designed to give students a general overview of Europe’s physical and political geography. It is not an exhaustive look at the map as a whole, but rather a snapshot of major physiographic features and selected countries-in-focus." This means that we are not required to memorize the entire map of Europe.

"The European continent is located north of Africa and accounts for the westernmost portion of the Eurasian landmass. The continent is bordered to the west by the Atlantic Ocean, to the north by the Arctic Ocean, and to the south by the Mediterranean Sea. Europe’s easternmost land boundary is the Ural Mountains, which run north to south through western Russia." However, some geographers do not consider Europe to be it's own continent.

The GaDOE says, "Europe is composed of fifty sovereign states. However, in an effort to give students a snapshot overview of the continent, we will only study seven countries. In southwestern Europe, making up the largest part of the Iberian Peninsula, is Spain. Northeast of Spain, on the other side of the Pyrenees, is France – one of the continent’s leading economies. Southeast of France, south of the Alps, is Italy. Italy is composed of a peninsula and two Mediterranean islands. All three nations are linguistically and religiously similar. Northwest of France, across the English Channel, is the United Kingdom. This island nation is another of Europe’s leading economies, and is composed of four countries: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. East of France, in Central Europe, is Germany, the continent’s most potent economy. Both the U.K. and Germany share a common linguistic heritage. In Eastern Europe, northwest of the Black Sea, is Ukraine; this country was once the primary agricultural center for the Soviet Union. Northeast of Ukraine, and extending across the north of Asia beyond the Ural Mountains, is the world’s largest country in terms of total land area, Russia. Both Ukraine and Russia share a common linguistic and religious heritage, as well as a turbulent mutual history throughout Cold War. " In addition to the seven countries identified, I would like you to know where Belgium and Poland are.
