Welcome to AFRICA:
One Continent. Many Worlds.
This series of classroom ideas is designed to help young people develop an appreciation and respect for African peoples, their communities through out the world, and the natural riches of the African continent.
The activities are written for teachers and are designed to be adaptable for grades K-12. After a preliminary review of the activities, teachers can modify their approach or chosen language as appropriate to their students grade level.
Teachers are encouraged to branch out beyond the suggested activities, to engage in class discussion, writing or observation, depending on the method of learning most suitable for the students involved.
When possible, students should be encouraged to visit the AFRICA: One Continent. Many Worlds. web site, and if the opportunity presents itself, to visit the traveling exhibit.
Classroom Ideas are organized by subject and can be reviewed by selecting a topic from the menu on the left.
