Prepare to step into the vast continent of Africa with your elementary
students!
Avoiding the usual stereotypes, these activities provide young students
with a
solid look at contemporary Africa. The lessons give them an understanding
of
the rich diversity found on the continent, including topics such as rural
vs. urban
life, diversity of languages, physical habitats, and independence of nations.
The lessons fully integrate language arts (reading comprehension of non-fiction
texts, vocabulary development, and expository writing) with geography skills,
and meet national standards in both.
