Summary of Unit / InquiryIn this unit of inquiry, we will study the continent of Africa. We will begin by learning about the key physical aspects of Africa, leading students into a deeper understanding of the vast natural resources found on the continent. This understanding will help transition into a human geographical analysis of Africa and begin to shed light upon the causes and effects that European Imperialism had on the vast continent. Through a careful analysis of the physical and human geography of Africa, students will come away with an enduring understanding of both the history and present state of the African continent.
