March 7

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

Today in class we will be finishing the portion of Episode 3 from the Guns, Germs, and Steel documentary.  After that we will begin taking a look at African history.  I love talking about African history because it is so commonly forgotten by Americans.  There is a rich and violent history that is often overlooked by those who are not directly involved in it.  We will pay particular attention to two nations, Rwanda and South Africa.  Both with interesting stories, one tragic and one uplifting.  Below you will find our agenda, homework, and resources for the day.

Objectives:

1. Describe the impacts of geographic luck and its modern day impact on the continent of Africa
2. Discuss the history of Africa, regional characteristics, and the impacts of Europeans

Agenda:

1. View GGS - Episode 3 (Africa)
1. Submit Viewing Guide Questions
2. Discuss: Africa

Homework:

1. NONE

That's all for today ladies and gentlemen!  Hope you found our discussions interesting!  We will be moving into our look at Rwanda when we meet again on Thursday!  Hope you have a great evening!  Take care!

Live long and prosper,

Mr. Marchetti
