Socials 9: May 23

 Today we had our normal Friday 5.  Then students had time to complete both their map and their project.  Both are due on Monday.  If you need to prioritize one, make that the project as we are doing a gallery walk on these and doing some peer marking so if it's not done you will lose these marks.

We then worked on a map of Africa.

We started a quick partner project:

Prior to WWI, there were 7 main colonizing countries of Africa:  Spain, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, Britain, France & Italy

You and a partner if you choose will work on one of these and answer the following questions:

• What African colonies did they control?

• What were the specific consequences for these colonies under colonial rule of these countries?

• What were the causes of colonization and what resources were they after?

• What conflicts arose because of colonization?

• When did they become independent?

Create a quick set of slides or poster on this.  Ensure you use your words and create a bibliography.
