The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Southern and Eastern Africa: History and Its Influence, Part 2:
In this experience, students learn about the effects of European colonialism on the nations in Eastern and Southern Africa during the years following independence. Then they research the ongoing conflicts that resulted in Uganda, Rwanda, and Sudan, drawing connections between European rule and the later ethnic and religious conflicts. Finally, students consider the unexpected consequences and effects of slavery in the United States. Although this experience stands alone, it works best with Southern and Eastern Africa: History and Influence, Part 1, which explores the history of these regions from earliest times up into the time of colonialism. In Scene 3, students will work together in small groups. Objectives:Overview
By the 1960s, a wave of independence was sweeping across much of Africa. European colonialism was losing its grip as Africans defended their right to self-government. In this experience, you will learn about the independence of Southern and Eastern African countries as well as recent conflicts in several of these countries.
Describe how you would feel in this new world where the line defines so much of your life.
Discuss student responses. Explain that in a way, this is what the European colonizers did in Africa. Tell them that they will learn more about the consequences in the rest of the experience.
