The Culminating Project for this unit allows you and your classmates to act as griots (African storytellers) to tell a story that answers this question: "What should most be remembered about the history of sub-Saharan Africa?" To do this, you will work in groups of four to create and perform a four-part story about the geography of sub-Saharan Africa, empires of West Africa, kindoms of central and southern Africa, and African traditions. As the griot in your grouopnarrates the tale, other group members must use a variety of devices...visual aids, props, body movements, music, puppets, symbols, audience participation...to add to the story. To create your non-fictional tale of Africa's past, you will use materials accumulated throughout the unit...original writings, visuals, historical notes, video notes...and materials collected through additional research.
