KARIBU Unit 11 | The Wonder Continent | Africa World Records Facts Mansa Musa | Grades 6 to 12

Most students have never been taught any of this.

The wealthiest person who ever lived was African. The oldest university in the world was founded in Africa by a woman. Africa has more countries, more languages, and more megafauna species than any other continent. Its longest river, biggest desert, and greatest animal migration are all world records.

This unit is built to amaze students and make them ask why they were never taught this before. Includes a reading guide with Did You Know fact boxes, 16 vocabulary terms, a record breakers chart activity, a fact or fiction exercise, discussion questions, a crossword puzzle, a two-level quiz for middle school and high school, and a complete answer key.

This is Unit 11 of the 12-unit KARIBU African Studies curriculum.
