I am cheating and post-dating this. Saturday the 32Days topic was Africa. Deesha has a post up about writer Chris Abani. I will present something not nearly as literary, but hopefully you'll have some fun with and learn something from it.
Both my daughters are currently involved in their school with a "Children of he World" unit. As part of this unit, they had to choose a country to research and prepare a poster and oral presentation for. Both requested from their teachers that they be assigned an African country. Really. I had nothing to do with this request. In fact, in my typical harried fashion, I had lost the sheet that instructed us parents to talk over with our children what country they'd like to explore. Lost the paper, forgot to talk about it.
But they each requested an African country, all on their own.
One daughter was then assigned Madagascar, the other, Kenya. I had a ball investigating these countries at length with them. As part of our internet research I found a fun site from I Like 2 Learn dot com with an interactive map quiz of the countries on the continent. Try it out--How many countries can you identify?
