Global Citizenship Lesson Plan

Introduction

1. Discussion: What comes to mind when you think about Africa? (5 min.)
2. African Geography Map Quiz (15 mi.)
a. Introduce students to a website quiz game on African countries. It’s not graded,
but to give them an idea of how much they know about Africa geography. Give
them around 10 minutes to explore and they can take the quiz as many times
as they wish.
- Generally, students get around 30%
b. While they are taking the quiz, I write down comments that they make on the
whiteboard
- “I’ve never even heard of this place before.”
- “I’m just guessing on most of them.”
