Resource Objective & Content

The objective is to enable students to identify the four countries of the United Kingdom, name their respective capitals, and understand the difference between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.

The document is an infographic map on the United Kingdom ("THE UNITED KINGDOM"). It visually and textually explains that the U.K. is composed of four countries:

England (England), capital: London (London)
Scotland (Scotland), capital: Edinburgh (Edinburgh)
Wales (Wales), capital: Cardiff
Northern Ireland (Northern Ireland), capital: Belfast

The poster clarifies that the full official name is "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" and specifies that the Republic of Ireland is not part of it. The map also shows the location of other major cities such as Liverpool, Manchester, and Glasgow.

Suggested Procedure

Before the activity (~5 min): BRAINSTORMING ON THE U.K.

Ask students what they know about the United Kingdom. Which countries are part of it? What is the capital? This allows them to activate their knowledge and correct misconceptions.

During the activity (~10-15 min): EXPLORING THE MAP

Project the infographic or distribute copies.
Task 1: Ask students to find and name the four countries of the United Kingdom.
Task 2: For each country, ask them to find the capital.
Task 3: Point to the Republic of Ireland and ask: "Is this country part of the UK?". Read together the box that clarifies this point.

After the activity (~10 min): GEOGRAPHY QUIZ

Ask simple questions based on the map: "What is the capital of Scotland?", "Is Liverpool in England or Wales?", "What is the full name of the UK?".
Students can answer orally or on whiteboards.

Adaptations

To simplify: Provide students with a blank map of the United Kingdom. They listen to the teacher and color the four countries in different colors, then write the name of the capital on them.
To extend: Ask students to do a short research on one of the four countries to find its flag, a famous landmark (not on the map), or a famous person who originates from there.
