Abstract:	This clip shows a teacher in Zambia of 7th grade students using a projector to display a map of Africa, and then assign smaller tasks to groups to discuss over atlases and books. The tasks are things like ‘find the river highlighted in the projected image of Africa’ or ‘identify the largest river in the northern region.’ The students must discuss in groups and write their responses on small white boards for the teacher to see. After this activity, one representative from each group got up in front of the class and explained one aspect of the African landscape, whether it was by region or by type (river or lake) depending on prompts from the teacher.
