What is North Africa like today?

Saleem Aleikum! (As you might have guessed, nearly all of North Africa speaks Arabic. Today we are going to learn why.)

We had an awesome day yesterday at our museum! We learned so much about the ancient Egyptian culture and the achievements that they are best known for. Today we are going to learn what culture is like today in North Africa. In some ways the culture is very similar, but in some ways the culture has changed a lot.

DO NOW: Define the following vocabulary words. If you can, try not to use your vocab flashcards:
1. What is a dynasty?
2. What is an obelisk?
3. What is a noble?
