Task:  Welcome back!  We'll begin today's class with a discussion about the essential questions that will focus our studies of Sub-Saharan Africa.  Then, we'll move into small groups to discuss the close reading articles.  Next, we'll find a partner who read the other article, share, and complete the Venn diagram.  Finally, we'll watch a video entitled,  "What Do We Know About Africa?" and you'll complete an exit slip before leaving class.
