In Unit 1 for APWH, one of the areas I've struggled with is Africa. I found this activity on OER practicing contextualization for Mansa Musa's pilgrimage. What tips or tricks do you have for using this activity?

I use this to emphasize the Trans-Saharan African trade. He is such a fascinating figure in history, and every year, I don't think I have had a student who has ever heard his story. One thing I like to do, not just with this one but all of the Contextualization Activities, is have groups of students go deeper into the context provided on each card to contextualize the context. So, each group (2-3) will get assigned a card and be tasked with figuring out more information about it while also determining if it is a broad or narrow context to the event.
