On Thursday we started talking about our unit on Africa. For an activity, we listed everything that we thought of when we heard the word Africa. We listed words like safari, people, adoption, poor, jungle, and hot. After that we talked about how some of those words only described some parts of Africa. Like for example, the word “safari” only describes a few parts of Africa. We learned that we cannot label Africa as a whole, only parts of it. For another activity, we looked at pictures of people and had to decide if they were from Africa or not. A lot of them were surprising. People from different parts of Africa look very different. People from South Africa look very different then people from Egypt. It was really interesting.
