This webquest is designed to debunk those impressions as it familiarizes students with the grandeur of the Ghana, Mali, Songhai, Aksum, and Zimbabwe civilization

Africa Country Research Project
I LOVE teaching this project, and came up with it after living in Ghana and realizing, upon returning to the U.S., that Americans don't know much about Africa!
