每週 1 小時. Homework is always optional. I believe learners would benefit from implementing the information they learn in class, however, I also understand that each learner is unique. Learners will analyze primary source documents and answer comprehension questions based on a primary source. These activities should not take more than one hour to complete.評估
Learners will be assessed informally in each class through verbal comprehension checks and class discussion. Each class will begin with a quick review of the activities from the previous week's class to ensure students understood the material. At the end of each unit, students will complete a Kahoot, which will act as an informal summative assessment of each civilization.等級

This class will cover the geography of northern Africa, the African kingdoms of Djenne-Djeno, Aksum, Mali, Ghana, Songhai, and Great Zimbabwe. The course will also cover the Byzantine Empire in Europe. This course will be taught using visual aids via PowerPoint in a lecture-based format. Students will be expected to ask questions and discuss as a group the material that we are covering. During the 50 minute class periods, students should expect to answer questions to check their understanding and participate in class discussions. The last week of the course will be the unit test which will be in the form of an interactive game of Kahoot. This is an introductory class, so it is a brief overview of the legacy and culture of each civilization. Students do not need to have any background knowledge coming into class!
