3/15/19

Today students led small group discussions on the global response to conflicts in modern Africa.

If absent, answer the following and turn in with your research:

  • How did the response to your chosen conflict compare with the response to the Rwandan genocide?
  • Why do you think the UN so often hesitates to get involved in African conflicts?
  • How could the UN response to African conflicts be improved?


 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.
