HWC Day 16 - Exploring the History of Africa

Objectives:   Reflect on the culture and geography of Sub-Saharan Africa.  Identify and dispel misconceptions about Africa.  Investigate the great kingdoms and civilizations of Africa.

Task:  When you arrive to class, please form a "horseshoe" so we can continue our discussion from yesterday.  As we consider the stereotypes that permeate our perceptions of Africa, we'll also consider the geographic and cultural realities revealed in Part A of the Regional Study.   Next, we'll play a game to review the capitals of Africa.  Finally, you'll divide into groups to investigate one of the great kingdoms or civilizations of Sub-Saharan Africa.  You'll compile your research on a "ShowMe!" presentation that will be presented to the class tomorrow.
