World History: One Page Summary Chapter 27, Section 1: The Scramble for Africa

This is a note-taking strategy that I came up with, designed, and started using this year. It’s what I called a One-Page Summary, and it’s a one page notes template designed to cover ONE topic, chapter, or section at a time. Because it’s one page only, I focus only on the pertinent information that the students must absolutely walk away knowing.

This talks about what is imperialism, how Africa was before imperialism, factors that promoted imperialism of Africa, Berlin Conference, five major motives of imperialism and many more.
