Worksheet templates
After more than 2 decades Oxfam’s school program has closed. Our commitment to tackling poverty and empowering communities continues. The resources on these pages will no longer be updated.
– September 2019.
Oxfam has a collection of worksheet templates available as PDFs. These can be used in a variety of subjects, to help your students organise, make sense of and critically engage with information.

Cloropleth map
A blank map of the world for multiple uses. Oxfam uses Peters Projection for all of its maps of the world. If desired, teachers and students are welcome to undertake a webquest and discuss why we may use this map.
- What were your first impressions when you saw this map?
- Why did Peters create his map?
- What countries are bigger, and what countries are smaller?
- How does this projection affect your view of the world?
- Why might Oxfam choose to use this map?
