Grade Level: Middle School – High School
Includes curriculum unit + CD-ROM

Mapping Africa has been designed to serve three purposes. First, the unit acts as an introduction to, or review of, fundamental geographic concepts and vocabulary. Second, it teaches students about the physical and political geography of Africa. Third, students learn to examine maps with a critical eye toward political and technical limitations. Students are future world citizens who need geography skills taught within the context of international education. The basic geographic competencies introduced in this unit can be applied to any world region.

Although the continent of Africa is often in the news, coverage of the region rarely conveys much understanding of the continent's complex geography and environment. The unfamiliarity of the names of African countries and cities, the recent history of colonial governance, and the negative images that have been conveyed through films and television make it all the more important that students gain a basic knowledge and appreciation of this large, multifaceted world region. 

Mapping Africa contains six lessons that can be integrated into your curriculum where it best suits your needs. Although some lessons depend on knowledge from prior lessons, they are for the most part interchangeable. For example, if students have questions about latitude and longitude after Lesson One, you may decide to move directly to Lesson Three.

The following overview of lessons gives you an idea of how the unit has been designed:

  • Lesson One (suggested teaching time: 1 class period): Students review basic geography terms.
  • Lesson Two (suggested teaching time: 1 to 2 class periods): Students participate in a "map hunt" activity. Students actively engage in a search for the countries and main physiographic features of Africa. Students label maps with this information.
  • Lesson Three (suggested teaching time: 1 class period): Students learn or review the use of latitude and longitude by searching for the most populous African cities.
  • Lesson Four (suggested teaching time: 1 to 2 class periods): Students participate in a second "map hunt" activity. Students search for answers to physiographic clues and label major physical landmarks in Africa on a map.
  • Lesson Five (suggested teaching time: 1 class period): Students examine the complex nature of climate in Africa.
  • Lesson Six (suggested teaching time: 1 class period): Students are introduced to cartography and explore difficulties of making flat representations of the world.

A good idea that didn't work out
The pieces are not labeled at all, the paint on the threads makes it difficult to get a good tight fit between the pieces, and the way the pipes are screwed together there are two opposing corners that always bow in an make it look like it's going to fall in. It's also really difficult to make level. I really wanted to like this because it fit EXACTLY what I wanted to use it for, but I just can't trust it long term which is why I'm giving it 2 stars.

Looks great & saves space
Color: Rustic Brown and Black, Color: Rustic Brown and Black
I couldn't be happier with the look and the space it's saving me. It came very well packaged, even with corner guards on the wood shelfs. It was very easy to assemble and attach to the end of my pantry in the kitchen. That space was just going to waste. The ladder shelf fit perfect and looks great. I love the color and texture of the wood grain, it really goes well with the black metal rail. It will be a little wobbly until you get it screwed down to the wall but after that, it's good and sturdy. The instructions were easy enough to read but I still found a couple of parts I didn't use and wondered what they were for? The parts do come numbered but only on the packaging? Not on the part itself which would have been more helpful to some extent. So just keep it all together with it's packaging and you'll have no problems. Very happy with purchase.

Nice and sleek
Color: Rustic Brown and Black
I’m really happy with the bookshelves overall, I only wish they had taller ones available. It was very quick and easy to put together and they have held up well so far. They look great for the price and I especially like that they have a small footprint when it comes to how much room they take up.
