3/14/19

Due to the number of students out for a field trip today, our discussion on modern conflicts in Africa has been moved to Friday. Please come prepared with your research.

Today we work on preparing for our Africa exam on Monday. This will involve developing an outline to one of the prompts shown in class. This should include a thesis statement answering your chosen prompt, at least 6 pieces of evidence, and 2-3 body thesis statements. You should also include analysis for your evidence that shows your understanding of its connection to your argument.

Students should be working this weekend to develop their thesis and outline using their notes. This becomes your study guide to prepare for the exam. You will then create your outline in class without your notes on Monday. This will be graded on showing good content knowledge of the big ideas covered this unit which generally revolved around this question:

• How did imperialism impact the development of African countries? Students should consider the long-term impacts as well as the cultural perspectives created by imperialism that influence Africa today.
