HWC Day 16 - European Incursion into Africa


Objectives:  Continue building and refining FCP personas.  Examine and assess the status of Africa before and after European incursion.  Identify key events and justifications for European imperialism in Africa.

Task:  After recording the daily objective, please get out your computer.  In the first 20 minutes, we'll discuss Internet safety, answer questions about FCP & "Whole New Mind" assignments.  Next, we'll spend a few minutes discussing the DBQ documents that we began in class yesterday.  Before moving on to the next activity, we'll pause to check for understanding by posting a reflection to the Moodle.  Finally, the remainder of class will be used to complete a directed research activity on the scramble for Africa.

FCP Ning Note:  Please tag all of your posts with "SVHS_Fall12" AND "FCP12-2." Remember, there are no spaces in tags - use an underscore (_) or dash (-) to indicate space.  Blank spaces denote separations for tags.  See images below for directions.
