Imperialism in Africa- 2 day lesson

Imperialism in Africa- 2 day lesson

I have spent years building up lessons and my goal has always been to make lessons engaging, multicultural, relevant, and thought provoking.

This lesson is so rewarding and the benefits of it include getting students:

• Ready to learn
• In the mindset to think critically
• Engage with one another
• Debate
• Question 
• Share
• Development empathy
• Learn from unfamiliar historical events 

This is a fantastic 2 day lesson that will help you provide a more in-depth understanding of the causes and factors of Imperialism in Africa. This lesson is designed to be personalized by you to best suit your classroom and the students needs. I hope you enjoy this lesson as much as I have!
