Coming to you straight from room 328...

Students,

So we do some awesome things in class, as you know, and I wanted you to be able to access some of those activities at home.  You will find links from videos we watched or links to different sites that we have used on this page!


Sincerely,

Ms. Faase

During our unit on West African kingdoms, we watched part of a documentary in class called, "Diamonds of War: Africa's Blood Diamonds."

Click here to watch the documentary on YouTube.

Questions that go along with the documentary are found in your OneNote ISN for Social Studies.  If you complete these questions, as well as read the article about the conflict in Africa and answer the response questions, you will receive extra credit!  This is due on 12/2 when we return from Thanksgiving Break.

One of the things that was requested by students was the Animaniacs video and continent song!

Visit the link to watch the song again and read the lyrics below.  Please be aware that the song is a bit outdated and some of the countries have changed names or split apart or merged together!  See if you can figure out which ones they are...
