There will be a quiz on Central, East and South African countries next week on Tues (B Day) and Wed. (W Day). Please use this site to help you study: https://www.sheppardsoftware.com/Africa/Africa_GL_1024_768.html There are also maps on this site to help you: http://mrduffhistoryclass.wikispaces.com/Africa
If you did poorly on North and West Africa, you can make the quiz up to improve your grade. Set up a time to do this with Mr. Duffany.
For next Mon and Tues. please bring in one thing that represents your culture. This could be anything that represents you and your peers living in Sandwich, Ma, USA. Examples include: Popular foods, music, sports, school, social media. This item must be tangible and must be rather small. We will be sending a box to another place on the globe. You can buy something, make something or bring something in that you already have.
We will talk about items to bring in class.
Some ideas for what you can/might send in the #CultureBox
National flag?
A recording of the national anthem/spoken language- a book/tape/cd/dvd to learn the language?
National food from the country (that won't go off/get through customs etc!)
