Africa: Country Extensions Project
As we begin our quest for an up close and personal look at the diverse continent of Africa, students will be given an opportunity to conduct research on one of the following countries: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, and Sudan. The Africa Extensions project will require students to work with a partner to create a presentation which they will share with the class on Friday, February 26th. All students will receive a specific graphic organizer to use as a guide for the research. Student groups will choose one of the following methods to present their research:1. Design a web page
2. Three (3) sided presentation display board
3. PowerPoint- 9 slide minimum
4. Country storyboard (poster size)
5. Design a NEW country pavilion for Epcot’s World Showcase

Important Note to Parents & Students:
Students will have limited class time to complete the extensions project (2 research days) and the majority of work for this assignment is to be done at home. Students have signed a partner contract, and I am requesting that you review this information with your child, sign, and return it with your student. Click here for a copy of the partner contract.
