Monday, Jan. 10 I collected the Sundiata illustrated story from students. I gave a brief Powerpoint lecture about the fall of Mali, and the rise of Songhai. Students then had about 15-20 minutes in class to finish their Sundiata story, or to work on the Africa GDP per capita map. No Homework.
Tuesday: We turned our focus to East Africa. We watched a 12 video segment about the Swahili people (w/ questions). We then began a map of African trading ca. 1400. No Homework.
Packets will be due next Wednesday, and the unit test will be on that day as well. Study guides will go home tomorrow. While I say there is no new assigned homework, students should obviously be completing any assignments that aren't done.
Here is a list of the packet so far:
2. Ghana, Mali, Songhai fill ins
3. Wonders of the African World III
4. Sundiata: the Lion King (collected, stamped, returned)
5. Africa GDP per capita map
6. Decline of Mali PPT
7. Ancient Africa McDougal Littell
8. African Trading 1400s
