Hello everyone - sorry for the lack of posts. I could not get online on campus last week, but we are back in business. This week in World History we are studying the continent and kingdoms of Africa. On Monday, students discussed the importance of cultural myths and their transmission from person to person orally. Oral tradition and history are very important in the study of Africa. On Tuesday students did vocabulary and summarized text passages in pairs. Wednesday students were given history binders and were asked to label and color specific areas of a map of the continent of Africa. This map is the weekly assignment and must be completed by Friday. The areas of the map that must be colored and labeled are:
- Ocean bordering Africa to the west
- Ocean bordering Africa to the east
- Sea bordering Africa to the north
- The vegetation zones of Africa
- Egypt, Ghana, Songhai, the Nile River, the Senegal River, and the Sahara Desert
Use the maps on pages A28 and 158 to help you find this information.
One quick reminder: This week is Spirit Week - Wednesday is twin day, Thursday is crazy hair day, Friday is casual Friday (dress code will be enforced).
