Safari Webquest


Jambo! (In Kenya, most people speak Swahili)
We have started our African Safari! We have already learned so much about the area and the people that live there. But we are not done yet! Today we are going to continue our virtual safari!

DO NOW: Download Book Creator to your iPad. It is in the App Store. There are two, make sure you download the free one.

CLASSWORK: Remember, the website is sites.google.com/a/prairieschool.com/east-african-safari-webquest/ .  By the end of class, you should have Days 2, 3, and 4 done.

Note: At the bottom of the first page, there is a map to color in. You color in a little bit each "Day." As you travel to a different place, you will mark it on that map by coloring in where the area is located. It should not be done all at once. It does not need to be done before you begin Day 2.

HOMEWORK: If you did not finish your classwork up to Day 4, it is your homework. If you finished the Webquest all together, then get started on your journal. Journals are due on Tuesday! 

If you are not going to be in class on Thursday because you are going to the Soccer Game, your homework is also to finish Day 5 (the classwork for Thursday)!

Why does East Africa Have So Many Different Climates?


Teanastellen! (Hello from the Amharic people of Ethiopia!)

Last Friday we took our quiz on North Africa. Today we are going to start our next region, East Africa! East Africa is one of the most exciting places in all of Africa. There are so many different climates in this one region. You can be travelling through the desert one day, and making a snow angel the next! East Africa is a very popular tourist destination for one main reason, going on safari! Over the next few days, we are going to go on a virtual safari to explore the different places, people, and animals of East Africa.

DO NOW: In your gFlash+ app, create vocabulary cards for the following words. USE THE GLOSSARY AFRICA VOCABULARY in eBakcpack!!!!

Rift Valleys
Imperialism
Safari
Genocide

CLASSWORK: Go to the website sites.google.com/a/prairieschool.com/east-african-safari-webquest/ for all the directions on the webquest

HOMEWORK: If you did not complete Day 1 in class, it must be finished.
