Project
With one partners, choose a situation of concern in Africa you want to explore and learn about. Find at least 3 sources that describe the situation, what has been/is being done about it. You (your group) will write a report to present this situation and your findings, as well as your thoughts as to what was/is done.

The last step is a short presentation to the class to share your finding (a 3 to 5 minute presentation with at least 5 visuals - 5 slides on a keynote / 5 pictures presented on the doc camera - One has to be a map of the region). This step will take place after you turn in your report.

The report will be composed on Google docs (shared with me) and should contain:
• a title
• a paragraph or two exposing the initial situation (where, when, who, what, why)
• a paragraph or two exposing what has been done so far and how the progress is monitored (what, how, by whom, when,...)
• a paragraph exposing the follow-up regarding the situation (what, who, why)
• a conclusion presenting your own thoughts about the situation and the help that was/is provided (each member can have a different view)
• 3 visuals (1 has to be a map / pictures / drawings)
• the names of the participants
• a citation page (MLA format - easybib.com)

We will use 4 class time to work on this project + homework (Monday April 28th, Wednesday April 30th,  Friday May 2nd, Tuesday May 6th) - The report is due at the end of Tuesday class.

It is important to be productive in class, and use home time to find adequate resources.
