Think you know geography? Take this quiz
January 26, 2009
Two things I don’t particularly enjoy: geography and quizzes. I have a horrible sense of direction, and who really enjoys quizzes, anyway? Yet somehow I love the San Francisco Chronicle’s Annual Geography Quiz. It’s eerily similar to last year’s quiz in that the questions are fun, and in the words of quiz-creator John Flinn, it is, “a way for me to highlight some fun facts I stumbled upon in 2008, usually while in the process of looking up something else.”
This quiz might be a fun activity for your students. If nothing else, they’ll learn a lot of cool trivia about the world. You never know when you might need to know whether Mount Everest is taller than the Mariana Trench is deep, or what nation Zanzibar belongs to. -BILL FERRIS
