HWC1.2 Day 15 - Defining Africa & FCP Ning

Objectives: Establish a safe, professional, appropriate presence on the FCP Ning.  Identify and dispel myths about Africa and the people of Africa.

Task:  Once again, we'll start class with FCP.  I'll lead you through uploading or embedding your handshake to the FCP Ning (see hints below).  Then, we'll spend a bit of time reviewing the map of Africa with the Africa rap song.  Next, we'll examine the status of Africa prior to European encroachment with a DBQ.  Finally, we'll wrap up class with a discussion circle to tie together the Africa DBQ and part B of the Africa regional study.
