Ancient Sumerians in Mesopotamia were the first to develop writing around 3500 BC. They created a system of pictographic symbols called cuneiform that were written on clay tablets. Cuneiform allowed the Sumerians to keep records, send messages, and pass knowledge to future generations. Over time, writing systems evolved from pictographs to representing sounds through written symbols like the alphabets used in modern languages such as English and Spanish. Writing has become essential for communication, preserving history, and sharing information and stories through books, maps, and other media.

Procedures
ROUTINE (5 minutes)
I say hello to the students and take attendance: “Hello everybody! How are you today? Let’s
see who is here and who is absent” As they get ready, I will remind them what we will do
today. “Today we are going to continue with the material I gave you on the previous class. You
should have it with you and you were supposed to re-read it for today.”
WARM- UP (10 minutes)
“Before we start with today’s task I would like you to find the hidden message in this piece of
paper. You have to unscramble the words and you will find put a piece of information you
learned in our previous class”. I will hand out a slit of paper with a double puzzle. Students
will have to unscramble the words in order to find the message. Once students find the
message I will write it on the board.
PRESENT ATI ON (10 minutes)
“Remember what I said last class about our activity for today?” In case they do not remember,
I will ask them to take their photocopies out and I will elicit the task. After they answer I will
explain that before doing the proper poster, they will have to follow some steps. I will show
them some posters with visual aids. “In order to write, first you have to think of what you will
include in the poster and what you are going to omit. You have to think of what images you are
going to as well.” I will stick some posters as visual aid; they will have to follow them in order
to do all the necessary steps to make the final poster:
pre-writing;
drafting;
revising;
editing; and
publishing.
DEVELOP M ENT (PRACTI CE and PRODUCTI ON)
Activity 1 (5 minutes)
3. For the first activity, students will have to think what information they will include in the
posters and what they will leave out. “Once you have an idea of what you are going to include
in the poster, make a draft with them and show them to me before you start making the final
poster.” Students will write a first draft or rough and give it to me to check their progress.
Activity 2 (15 minutes)
After they get their drafts checked, they will have to revise them and then edit them. I will
point them to the writing visual aids that will be posted on the board. When they get a second
draft, they will show it to me again and then they will be able to make the final poster.
Activity 3 (10 minutes)
I will give students a white piece of cardboard per group for them to make the final poster.
“Now you are getting to the final stage of today’s task. You are going to make your poster to
then share your production with the rest of the class”. I will also provide them with markers,
coloured pens and pieces of coloured papers in case they want to decorate their posters. They
will be able to use the images from the set of photocopies I gave them the previous class.
Activity 4 (15 minutes)
As the final part of the class, students will have to come to the front and show their posters
and give a short presentation of the country they got. Each group will have three minutes to
talk about their country.
CLOSURE (5 minutes)
To finish the class, I will say “Thank you very much for your presentations. Now I would like
you to tell me - from what you saw today, which country would you choose to visit, if you had
the chance?” I will wait for their answers and then I will respond “Great choice! If I had the
chance, I would like to visit South Africa or Tanzania, I would love to visit Zanzibar Island”. I
will ask them to put away and I will say “Thank you for your attention, see you next class.
Goodbye”.

MAJOR RIVER: Nile
Egyptian Flag
8. Map of Egypt
GEOGRAPHY
Without the Nile River, all of Egypt would be desert. Only about an inch (2.5 centimeters) of rain
falls throughout Egypt each year. But each summer, the river rises because of rains at its source
far to the south in Ethiopia. Floods cover the river's valleys, leaving sediments needed for trees,
plants, and crops to grow.
Egypt is often divided into two sections: Upper Egypt in the south and Lower Egypt in the north.
The sections are named this way because the Nile flows from south to north. The river empties
into the Mediterranean Sea.
Southern Egypt's landscape contains low mountains and desert. Northern Egypt has wide valleys
near the Nile and desert to the east and west. North of Cairo, the capital, is the sprawling,
triangular Nile River Delta. This fertile land is completely covered with farms.
PEOPLE & CULTURE
About 90 percent of Egyptians are Muslim, which means they are followers of the Islamic religion.
About 10 percent of Egyptians are Copts, one of the oldest branches of the Christian religion.
Egypt's population is growing rapidly. This puts strains on Egypt's resources, since most people
live in a narrow strip of land along the Nile River. Having so many people in such a small area can
cause overcrowding, from schools to apartment buildings to hospitals.
Children are highly valued in Egypt, especially in rural areas where they help on family farms.
Children are also expected to look after their parents in their old age.
9. NATURE
Egypt is home to a wide variety of animals and plants, including jackals, gazelles, crocodiles, and
cobras. The best places to see Egypt's wildlife are in its more than 20 protected regions, which
include oases, deserts, mountains, coastal areas, river islands, and wetlands.
Egyptians have always been close to the natural world. The ancient Egyptians left paintings and
carvings of large animals like elephants, hippos, leopards, and cheetahs. These animals were
once common in Egypt, but they are now rare or extinct because of hunting and habitat loss.

GOVERNMENT & ECONOMY
Egypt's geography, population, history, and military strength have made it highly influential in the
region. Egypt is a democratic republic, although some critics claim that it is not truly democratic.
Until 2005, there was never more than one presidential candidate to vote for.
Along with oil and gas exports, Egypt's tourism industry remains a key part of its economy. Visitors
flock to the country to see ancient monuments like the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx.
HISTORY
The first people to live on the banks of the Nile were hunters and fishermen, who settled there
over 8,000 years ago. They learned to grow crops and raise animals, and they began to build
villages and towns. They traded with their neighbors and learned to sail boats. By 3000 B.C., a
civilization was established.
10. Around 3100 B.C., the kingdoms of Upper and Lower Egypt were unified under a powerful king,
later called a pharaoh. These kings built huge pyramids, temples, and other monuments. They
also conquered other lands.
By 1000 B.C., Egypt had split into smaller parts and the kingdom was in decline. Strong neighbors
attacked and took over Egyptian territory. In 31 B.C., Egypt fell under Roman control. In A.D. 640,
Muslim warriors took over Egypt and founded the modern capital, Cairo. They ruled for several
centuries. In the 16th century, Egypt became part of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.
European powers played an increasing role in Egypt starting in the late 18th century. In 1882, the
British invaded and occupied Egypt. The British wanted control of the Suez Canal, which linked
the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea and greatly shortened the sailing trip from Asia to
Europe. Egypt gained full independence from Great Britain in 1952 and took control of the Suez
Canal in 1956.
Egypt and other neighboring Arab countries fought a series of wars with the Jewish state of Israel
into the 1970s. In 1979 Egypt and Israel signed a peace agreement.
In 2011, a popular uprising toppled Egypt's long-time president, Hosni Mubarek. The country has
held several democratic elections since 2011, but the role of the military in government remains
strong.

13. Map of Kenya
GEOGRAPHY
Even if you've never been to Kenya, chances are you know what it looks like. Kenya's savanna is
familiar from movies, TV shows, books, and commercials. It's the landscape many people imagine
when they think of Africa.
Kenya is located in East Africa. Its terrain rises from a low coastal plain on the Indian Ocean to
mountains and plateaus at its center. Most Kenyans live in the highlands, where Nairobi, the
capital, sits at an altitude of 5,500 feet (1,700 meters).
West of Nairobi the land descends to the Great Rift Valley, a 4,000-mile (6,400-kilometer) tear in
the Earth's crust. Within this valley in the deserts of northern Kenya are the jade-green waters of
famous Lake Turkana.
PEOPLE & CULTURE
In Kenya, more than 60 languages are spoken and there are more than 40 ethnic groups. Almost
everyone there speaks more than one African language.
School is free in Kenya, but many children are too busy to go to classes. They help their families
by working the land, tending cattle, cooking, or fetching water.
Music and storytelling are important parts of Kenyan culture. For centuries, tribes throughout the
country have used songs, stories, and poems to pass on their beliefs, history, and customs.
14. NATURE
Millions of people visit Kenya each year to see its endless savanna and the animals that inhabit
it: elephants, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, hippos, rhinos, and more. The Kenyan government
has set up more than 50 reserves and parks to protect these animals.
People seeking African wildlife usually focus on Kenya's lowland savannas. But Kenya's
ecosystems also include deserts, swamps, mountain, and forests. Each region has its own mix of
plants and animals that are suited to the area's particular conditions. Kenya's highland forests are
home to many animals found nowhere else in the world.

GOVERNMENT
Kenya was a colony of the United Kingdom from 1920 until 1963. Since its independence, it has
been a republic, with a president, a national assembly, called the Bunge, and a judiciary.
HISTORY
Kenya's location between the Indian Ocean and Lake Victoria means that people from all over
Africa and the Middle East have traveled and traded across it for centuries. This has created a
diverse culture with many ethnic groups and languages.
Scientists think Northern Kenya and Tanzania may have been the original birthplace of humans.
The bones of one of the earliest human ancestors ever found were discovered in Kenya's Turkana
Basin.
Slavery is a big part of Kenya's history. During the 1600s and 1700s, many Kenyans were
kidnapped and taken as slaves by Arabs, Europeans, and Americans. By the mid-19th century,
slavery was outlawed by most countries, but by then, thousands of Kenyans and other East
Africans had been taken to countries throughout the world.

18. Map of Nigeria
GEOGRAPHY
Nigeria is often called the "Giant of Africa." This name comes from the vastness of its land, the
diversity of its peoples and languages, its huge population (the largest in Africa), and its oil and
other natural resources.
Nigeria is a patchwork of distinctive regions, including deserts, plains, swamps, mountains, and
steamy jungles. It has one of the largest river systems in the world, including the Niger Delta, the
third largest delta on Earth.
Much of Nigeria is covered with plains and savannas. These tropical grasslands spread out as far
as the eye can see and are interrupted here and there by trees and shrubs. The southwestern
plains are home to the Yoruba people, who have lived there for thousands of years.
PEOPLE & CULTURE
There are at least 250 languages spoken in Nigeria and possibly more than 400. Music and art
spring from strong tribal roots and are prevalent throughout society.
At least 60 percent of Nigerians live below the poverty line, existing on less than a dollar a day.
Unfair distribution of the country's oil wealth, as well as political, ethnic, and religious conflicts have
put a strain on Nigerian society.
NATURE
High on Nigeria's southern mountains, the slopes are covered by thick rain forest. Green plants
grow everywhere, broken by flashes of color from flowers, fruits, birds, and butterflies. This is the
home of rare western lowland gorillas, once thought to be extinct in Nigeria.
19. Nigeria's diverse landscape makes it ideal for a broad range of plants and animals. Many species
live nowhere else on Earth. Unfortunately there aren't very many national parks in Nigeria and
competition for space with humans has left many species on the endangered list.
Many years ago Nigeria's savannas teemed with giraffes, elephants, lions, cheetahs, and large
herds of antelope. Today, most of these animals have been killed by hunters or their habitats have
been destroyed.

GOVERNMENT AND ECONOMY
Since Nigeria won independence from Britain in 1960, it has suffered through corrupt leaders and
occasional military rule. In 1999 the country adopted a new constitution and the first democratic
elections in 20 years were held.
Nigeria is the most important country politically and economically in West Africa. It is richer than all
other West African nations and holds considerable power.
Nigeria's most important export is oil, more than half of which is shipped to the United States.
Rubber and cacao (for chocolate and cocoa) are also important export products.
HISTORY
Although the country of Nigeria is fairly new, the area's history stretches back for thousands of
years. The town of Nok in central Nigeria was once the home of a culture that existed more than
2,000 years ago. Archaeologists have found many of their clay carvings.
Hundreds of thousands of years before the Nok culture, ancient people in Nigeria began making
stone tools and eventually learned to farm and keep animals.
20. In the 1600s, many Africans became victims of the European slave trade. Millions of people lost
their freedom. In the 1800s, the British defeated many of Nigeria's tribal kingdoms and created the
colony of Nigeria. They ruled the country until 1960.

22. Map of South Africa
GEOGRAPHY
Most of South Africa's landscape is made up of high, flat areas called plateaus. These lands are
covered with rolling grasslands, called highveld, and tree-dotted plains called bushveld.
To the east, south, and west of the plateau lands is a mountainous region called the Great
Escarpment. The eastern range, called the Drakensberg, or Dragon's Mountain, is filled with
jagged peaks, some more than 11,400 feet (3,475 meters) high.
Interestingly, South Africa has another country within its borders. Nestled in the Drakensberg is
the mountainous kingdom of Lesotho. Much of South Africa's water comes from the snowcapped
peaks of this tiny, landlocked nation.
PEOPLE & CULTURE
Many different peoples make up South Africa, each with their own language and history. The
country has 11 official languages and many more unofficial ones. This colorful mix of cultures
gives South Africa its nickname "rainbow nation."
South Africans are passionate about music, often using song and dance to express social and
political ideas. They're also known worldwide for their skill in sports, including rugby, cricket, golf,
and soccer. In 2010, South Africa became the first African nation to host the World Cup.
NATURE
23. From aardvarks to zebras, South Africa is full of wildlife. The country takes up only about one
percent of Earth's land surface, but is home to almost 10 percent of the world's known bird, fish,
and plant species and about 6 percent of its mammal and reptile species.
The seas around South Africa are also crowded with wildlife. About 2,000 marine species visit
South African waters at some point during the year. There's also a world-famous sardine run off
the east coast each June that draws thousands of hungry sharks, dolphins, and birds.
South Africa works to preserve its wildlife with dozens of protected land and marine areas,
including the famous Kruger National Park in the north, as well as nearly 9,000 privately-owned
game reserves throughout the country.
Nevertheless, many of South Africa's animals are hurt by illegal hunting and loss of habitat, and
dozens of species are in danger of extinction, including the black rhinoceros, the cheetah, and the
African wild dog.

GOVERNMENT & ECONOMY
South Africa has been a democratic republic since holding its first truly open election on April 27,
1994. Natural resources, agriculture, tourism, and manufacturing have made South Africa the
largest economy on the continent. But problems with unemployment, poverty, and AIDS present
huge challenges for the government.
HISTORY
In northern South Africa near Johannesburg, there is a cave formation called the Sterkfontein.
Within these caves, archaeologists have uncovered some of the earliest human fossils ever found.
Some are more than two million years old. The find earned the region the nickname "Cradle of
Humankind."
About 24,000 years ago, tribes of hunter-gatherers known as the San, or Bushmen, began moving
into South Africa. Many San still live, much as their ancestors did, around the Kalahari Desert in
the northwest.
24. In the 1400s, European ships heading to the Far East began stopping on the South African coast
for supplies. In 1652, the Netherlands established the southern city of Cape Town, and Dutch
farmers, called Boers, began settling in the areas around the city.
In 1806, wars in Europe left the British in control of the Cape Town colony. In 1910, the British
united four colonies in the region and created South Africa. They established laws that separated
whites from black South Africans, a practice of segregation called apartheid, which led to decades
of conflict.
In 1963, Nelson Mandela, head of the anti-apartheid African National Congress, was given a life
sentence in jail for "terrorist" activities. In 1990, after 27 years behind bars, he was freed by
President F.W. de Klerk. In 1994, Mandela was elected president of South Africa.

26. Map of Tanzania
GEOGRAPHY
Tanzania is the largest country in East Africa and includes the islands of Zanzibar, Pemba, and
Mafia. About twice the size of California, this African country is bordered by the Indian Ocean and
eight countries: Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia,
Malawi, and Mozambique.
Mount Kilimanjaro, once an active volcano, is the highest point in Africa and is bordered by three
of the largest lakes on the continent: Lake Victoria (the world's second-largest freshwater lake) in
the north, Lake Tanganyika in the west, and Lake Nyasa in the southwest.
PEOPLE & CULTURE
About 90 percent of Tanzanians live in rural areas and live off what they can grow on the land.
Tanzania’s early people were hunters and gatherers. Traders moved to the country in about A.D.
800. The native people married the newcomers from India, Arabia, and the Shirazis from Persia.
Their language, Kiswahili, spread to other East African areas.
There are about 120 African tribal groups in Tanzania. Arranged marriage is still customary for
many Tanzanian families and parents start planning for their daughter’s future when she is young.
Parts of the country are infested with the tsetse fly. This blood sucking insect carries sleeping
sickness, which affects humans and livestock. While the government has tried to eliminate the
flies, many areas are not safe for humans or their animals. Malaria is always a threat in the
country. Soccer is the favorite sport in Tanzania.
27. NATURE
Most of the land was once savanna and bush, but today is semidesert. There is an abundance of
wildlife in Tanzania. The largest remaining elephant populations in the world are in Tanzania’s
Selous Game Reserve, but they are still being killed for their ivory tusks.
Some of the most well-known African mammal species are native to Tanzania:
wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, elephant, rhino, lion, and leopard. They are endangered due to
poaching. Crocodiles and hippopotamuses can be found along riverbanks and lakeshores, and
giant turtles live off the coast.
The Gombe Stream National Park is a well-known chimpanzee sanctuary where Jane Goodall did
research on chimps in their natural habitat. Serengeti National Park is Tanzania’s oldest and most
popular park for tourists. It is linked to the Masai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya and is home to
over 1.7 million wildebeest, and about a million other animals.

28. GOVERNMENT
The president is the head of the country and chief of the armed services. General
elections are held once every five years. Zanzibar also has its own president,
assembly, ministry, and makes its own laws. Zanzibar is wealthier than the rest of
the country.
Dar es Salaam is the administrative capital, but Dodoma will be the future capital
and is home to Tanzania's legislature.
HISTORY
After Tanganyika and Zanzibar became independent countries, they merged in
1964 to form the nation of Tanzania. Tanzania is the world’s largest producer of
cloves.
Olduvai Gorge in northern Tanzania is the location of the oldest human settlements
found by Louis and Mary Leakey. This area is often called “The Cradle of
Civilization.”
