HWC Day 20 - Sub-Saharan Africa Wrap-up

Objectives:  Identify and dispel misconceptions about Sub-Saharan Africa.  Examine the impact of imperialism on Africa.  Describe the implementation and collapse of apartheid in South Africa.  Consider select contemporary issues in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Task:   Happy Friday!  When you arrive to class,please pick up the unit 3 homework from the side table.  I left two hole punches in the back of the room if needed.  Then, to begin, we'll finish our examination of apartheid in South Africa.  Then, we'll discuss the cases of Zimbabwe, Somalia, and Congo as well as select other contemporary issues in Sub-Saharan Africa.  Finally, if there is any time remaining, we'll investigate the contemporary status of Africa.
