Students complete this standards-based Africa Student Notes Packet to learn about such topics as the importance of the Niger River and the trans-Saharan trade network. The 15 attached pages include note sheets, homework, a study guide, and a test. (I also sell PowerPoints that go along with some note sheets attached.)

I have been teaching grades 7 and 8 Language Arts and Social Studies at De Anza Academy of Technology & the Arts in Ventura, California since 2001. I have also briefly taught high school ESL (grades 9-12), and I spent one month teaching English in Moscow, Russia.
