Medieval Africa Readings & Checkpoints
Over the course of the unit, we will be going through different sections of the textbook in class. Whenever we did a section of the readings, the questions will be due the same day and there will be a reading checkpoint made available the next day to start the class period (unless there were other instructions). The Google Forms online correspond to a specific topic/lesson in the textbook.
Trading States of East Africa
Early civilizations often formed near rivers or larger bodies of water. The East African civilizations were no different. The Nile River and the Red Sea made East Africa an ideal location for settlement.
African Traditions
In the last lesson, you read about East African societies and cultures. The West African empires of Ghana, Mali, and Songhai had organized societies with unique cultures of their own. There were large empires, but also cities, towns, and villages. Throughout the empires, societies had complex, family-based relationships. “Kings may come and go,” observed a popular saying from Mali, “but the family endures.”
