Teaching about Africa. ERIC Digest No. 36.
Merryfield, Merry M.
Recognizing the need to strengthen education about Africa in United States schools and to enable teachers to present complex issues about apartheid, political stability, and cultural conflict, this digest addresses the issue of how teachers can improve their teaching about Africa. The article poses 3 questions: (1) Why is it important to teach about Africa? (2) Where does Africa belong in the curriculum? and (3) What strategies can be used to teach about Africa? Included is a bibliography of resources. (KWL)
