Went over colonialism project some more today. It is below. The reading is attached.
Read 111-121 in the World Cultures book and look for information to help you answer the following questions. These pages are online.
What challenges did Africans face when building governments?
What economic challenges did African countries face?
How did the growth of cities and Urbanization affect Africa?
How did westernization affect Africa?
How have women’s lives changed?
Answer all the questions above in 2-4 sentences in your notebook
Next, to synthesize all you have read complete the following assignment:
Create a visual, dialogue, song, or story (or something else you think of and propose to me) that illustrates at least THREE effects of colonialism on Africa. You can focus either on the affects during or after colonialism; it’s even better if you can find a way to show both. We will create a list that you should use to generate ideas.
You will also write a paragraph explaining how your project meets these criteria and explains colonialism.
Grading criteria:
1. Demonstrates understanding of colonialism and its impact
2. Contains at least THREE specific affects of colonialism
3. Creative/interesting
This project can be done individually, or with a partner. If you have an idea for a project that involves more people you can propose it.
Reminder: our time frame for this is not very long. Due Tuesday, October 15th
