Map 10 – World Regions (Big Picture) Use the maps on the next page as a reference tool. It is important to know and have a mental map of the REGIONS of the world. The world regions are divided by influence, stemming traditionally from religion, but since the 20th century the influence has shifted to economic factors. Using the chart below, color each region as listed. Do not use the same color for any regions that touch each other. Each REGION must be a single color. Using a black map pencil, draw a circle around each of the following regions: Central America, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Russian Federation.
North America Central America South America Europe Russian Federation
Africa Sub-Saharan Africa Asia Oceania Antarctica
Map 11 – World Regions (Closer Look) Using the chart below, color each region as listed. Do not use the same color for any regions that touch each other. Each REGION must be a single color.

Bracket the Caribbean and Latin America.
