We are coming to the end of our West Africa Unit! Be Ready, our quiz is next Thursday!!!!!!!!!! As a way to summarize what we have learned about West Africa, we will be doing a country project! This will give you a chance to look back over everything that we have learned, and also learn a little extra about an African country!
DO NOW: In preparation for our quiz coming up, answer the following questions:
1. How does desertification affect people's lives?
2. What is the sahara?
3. What is a griot?
Project Details: Each student is going to be given a country in West Africa. You will have two days to research your country and create a Keynote for your country. Mrs. Moore has created a skeleton keynote to help you with your research. It can be found in eBackpack. Feel free to change the theme. You must answer the questions that Mrs. Moore has put into the Keynote, however you are welcome to add more information too. The more information you put in, the better your grade will be! Remember, you can use all of your notes from the past 2 weeks, any maps we made, and the internet to fill in any holes. Below are a few websites that you can use to help get your research started!
