Description

The purpose of this lesson is to help students decide (in a future lesson) which questions will be most interesting and important for them to try to answer. This should happen at approximately the same time as Questioning #2 in English Language Arts.

1. Students read texts and watch videos about Apartheid and produce a mini poster describing what they know about South Africa so far
2. Students then present their posters to the class.
