@Unit One - Why Do They Hate Us?



Africa


 * UGANDA**

STEP 1: Activate your prior knowledge by imagining and constructing a time-line (in pencil) of Ugandan history using **only** what you know of other countries in Africa. Begin at 1800 and end in the present. You may work alone or with a partner. During this brief exercise, your laptop show be //closed.//

STEP 2: Use this link to a good Time-line of Ugandan History in order to correct and add to your time-line. Add at least 10 of the most significant events in Ugandan history between 1800 and the present. Make sure that you include the major leaders, revolutions and revolts.

STEP 3: As a whole class, we will view a 20 minute video that focuses on Idi Amin Dada. During this video, fill in at least 10 events in his life.

STEP 4: In groups of 2 or three, use the following links to predict the future of Uganda. Create a one-page (single-spaced, 12 font) prediction for Uganda. In doing so, consider the following questions: - Will the country achieve long-term political stability? Why or why not? - Will Uganda's economy some day become stable and productive? Why or why not? - What is the future of the environment in Uganda? - What role will education play in all of the above?

NOTE: YOUR TIME-LINES AND PREDICTIONS WILL HANG ON THE WALL, SO MAKE THEM NEAT, ORGANIZED, DETAILED AND ATTRACTIVE TO LOOK AT.
