Objectives: Examine cultural and ethnic diversity in Africa. Explore and assess the status of Africa before European colonialism
Task: We will begin class by breaking into groups. Each group will have a whiteboard, as we go through a slide show examining different images, students will assess and guess whether or not they think this photo was taken in an Africa country. We will review the answers as we go and look at the diversity that occurs within Africa and also challenge some of our common beliefs about Africa. We will then watch a short video clip introducing the ancient empires and civilizations of Africa prior to european arrival and discuss three viewing questions. This will prepare the class to then get spend the remainder of time working on a DBQ activity in which students will examine documents to gain information and answer questions about the civilizations and empires of Africa.
