KEY QUESTIONS
Where is Rwanda? What is it like? How does its history fit in with things that I know?
This lesson can be done at the very beginning of your unit, in order to provide context and connections for the learning ahead. On the other hand, some teachers prefer to engage their students with the main ‘story’ films first, so that students are then motivated to explore the historical and geographical facts themselves.
AIMS AND PURPOSE
To place Rwanda geographically and historically.
For students to connect with what was happening in their own lives during the period of Rwanda’s history we are looking at.
To identify what students already know about the Rwandan genocide and other genocides.
WHAT DO I GET?
There are three PDFs included with this lesson:-
A two-page lesson plan covering the key questions, aims, resources needed and a detailed outline of the suggested method and activities.
A set of handouts for printing.
A set of presentation slides for class discussion and activities.
