Today in Social Studies we talked about what we know about West African culture through our study of fabric, specifically kente cloth and folktales.
Today we took a ride around the coast of West Africa! We used a close-up map of West Africa and followed the countries around the west coast. We began thinking about why West Africa was where most of the slaves were taken from and brought to America. We looked at a timeline and used what we already knew to construct our own understanding, thinking about people and events. We will be continuing to build onto our timeline.
Tonight for homework, we are thinking about questions and reactions we have to slavery in America.
