Syllabus Questions
Do you have any questions about the syllabus? If you do, I will answer them right now!
Complete Our Discussion of Africa Statistics
For homework last night you were asked to finish guessing what each column represented. We will look over these last few columns right now.
Africa's Future
Using the conclusions you drew using the above data, begin to think about the future of Africa. Can many of the countries on the continent develop to the level of "first world countries?" Does this continent need substantial outside help? Should it receive this help?
African Geography
You are going to take a few notes right now that are intended to get you to think about why people live where they do in Africa. Download the note guide that accompanies this lecture. You can use the note guide to help you organize your notes. I will always provide a note guide when I lecture.
Homework
1. Continue working on your practice map for Africa. It is due on Thursday.
2. Draw a picture of the word civilization. In other words, draw what image or images come to mind when you hear the word civilization. On the back of your drawing, write a definition of the word civilization. We will use these pictures and definitions as the basis for our discussion tomorrow.
