HWC1.2 Day 18 - Nationalism & Apartheid in Africa

Objectives:  Identify manifestations and impact of nationalism in nineteenth and twentieth century Africa.  Examine the use of nonviolent resistance in the struggle against apartheid.

Task:  To start today's class, we'll wrap up our examination of colonialism in Africa with an excerpt from Uganda Rising.  Use the back of your "Africa in 1910" map to take notes on the documentary excerpt.  Then, use these notes to answer questions 21 & 22 on "Scramble for Africa."

Next, you'll work in groups of four to discuss the nationalism homework.  Use LucidChart to create a group Venn diagram to compare and contrast the ideas of Nyerere, Nkrumah, & Fanon.  Be sure that all group members contribute to this document and make sure to share this chart with Mrs. Friday.

Finally, we'll end class with an examination of a nonviolent resistance movement to resist apartheid in South Africa.  While watching, you'll take notes which we'll use in our discussion of apartheid tomorrow.
