Teacher will explain how African civilizations developed and great trading states arose. Teacher will explain the geography of Africa and its location in relation to trade. Trade not only resulted in a transfer of ivory, gold, and other valuable resources, but also lent itself to the transfer of knowledge, cultures, religions, languages, and ideas.

After they have completed reading they will complete the chart that is attached to the "Do Now" power point. The readings are from the Glencoe World History books pages 242-248.
