This attractive book guides students on a journey through Africa, incorporating study of the history, geography, animals and culture of its peoples. After an overview of Africa, the book divides the continent into five regions. Students journey through each region by visiting seven countries, learning about 23 animals, reading letters from missionaries and school children, and enjoying over 550 color photos and 75 maps.
Students will visit a tannery and mosaic factory in Morocco, travel the Nile on the cruise ship "Cleopatra," watch batiking in West Africa, and have other adventures. The sections on the countries are written in story form, taking the reader for an exciting ride.
The seven countries featured are Egypt, Morocco, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, and Madagascar.
The Resource Book can be used alone or with the other books in this series. A perfect home school or school resource for an African unit study!
