Response to imperialism: Africa

Gwen Duralek

As I continue to revamp my teaching materials, I like sharing here & finding out what everyone is doing with the blending the CED with the OER resources.  Here's my Nearpod  and associated guided notes. I used the materials from 6.2 Colonialism & Response but I separate the material into the two main geographic regions.

The graphic bios are a huge hit with my students. Working with a microhistory (albeit, of a major character in this unit) has really helped my students see themselves in the curriculum, given them a new avenue to read history, and are fantastic one-pagers.  Have you incorporated these into your AP classes? How have your students responded to them?

  •  I don't teach AP World History but this activity you created using Nearpod is fantastic! Maybe I can create one following your leading guidance.

    I do use graphic biographies and my students responded very positively. I think that there are several explanations for the success: they are visually appealing, they are concise but informative, and they are entertaining to read. Graphic biographies teach students that personal stories are part of the narrative of history but using a different scale of analysis, and that is not a minor thing because it gives visibility to people that otherwise would remain invisible.
