Communities in West Africa, Oceania, and the Americas (WHP Origins: 6.6)

ERIN CUNNINGHAM

Hi all,

I was able to devote more time this year to the Communities in West Africa, Oceania, and the Americas lesson in WHP Origins. We started with a map (PDF with numbered locations/editable Google Doc without numbering) and then I let students pick one of the three articles for the three reads. The following day we worked on this comparison chart (chart with answers) individually and then with the whole class to get details from the other two regions, to partners with the similarities and differences, and back to individual work for the thesis/claim practice.

I'm curious how others address this lesson!

  • My students enjoyed discovering the connection between the Polynesian people and Disney's Moana.  We tied that to our study of The Lion King and Sundiata of the Mali Empire.  Are there other connections in our ancient history that anyone has found?  We are enjoying the pursuit.
