African Lesson

Guess how many countries there are in Africa? There are probably more than you think. Take a few minutes to see how many countries in Africa you can find on this map activity. When you go to the site, it will name a country in Africa and you will need to click on the map where the country is. You get 3 tries before you will get a clue. You don't have to do them all but just take a few minutes to try it. :

For this lesson you will be required to work with the group from class of your peers to complete a presentation about a conflict in Africa.  First each of you will need to read 3-5 articles (which you can find or can be provided for you) about the conflict that you is assigned.  Contact me HERE to get assigned one of the four rolls described in this post for the presentation.

After you are assigned the rolls you can go HERE to see what the role requires you to do!

Once you get your assignment you can look HERE for information that has been provided by me to assist your research. Also if you are having trouble then please contact me for questions or advice! And if you have never given a presentation report before check HERE and HERE for examples!

Your will be graded by the following rubric:


Presentation
Group Evaluation
Self Evaluation
1-10
1-10
1-5
1-10

The presentation will require you to give a 1-2 minute explanation of your research in front of the class.  Followed by a Q&A at the end.  The group and self evaluations will be in the form of a survey at the end of the assignment.
