Sub-Sahara Africa

Introduction

Hello students

Today we will be working on our perception of Sub-Sahara Africa. Through this module, we will go on a virtual tour of a musem in Sub-Sahara Africa and work towards finding artifacts that will inspire us to dig deep into the wonders that Africa holds. When finding artifacts in museums, you will make notations on each artifact. So, students get ready to embrace the beauty that awaits in Sub-Sahara Africa. 

Task

Your assignment is to create a PowerPoint presentation over the different artifacts you have found. Each artifact that you choose, you will need to do research over it. Throughout the research you will need to cite your sources over what you found. You will also need to write a short paragraph over each artifact. You will need a total of 6 artifact to complete the Power-point Presentation. Your last slide should include your websites you used to provide information over the artifacts of choice. 

Process
  1. The students will be broken into groups to 6 in which they will agree on roles with the teacher there to help navigate them. 
  2. Each student will contribute 2 artifacts they have found that stuck out to them and do research over the artifacts. 
  3. The students will need to research different museums in Africa in which they will choose artifacts that stand out to them.
  4. The student will take notes on his/her Think Sheets as to what his/her want to include in the groups power-point presentation.
  5. The student will then open a Power-point document in which they will share through their google account and begin to create his/her presentation.
  6. The students will be ready to present their power-point to the class.
