Class 8’s Main Lesson on Africa
Of the many varied subjects taught in a Steiner-Waldorf school, geography occupies a unique position in the curriculum. In Class 8 Geography morning lesson we are currently focusing on Africa.
Place
We are learning about the physical as well as the cultural and historical features of the world’s second largest and second most-populous continent, through various activities such as class reading and discussions, independent and quiet writing, drawing, painting, claywork, stories, singing traditional African songs.
People
We will be studying the biographical sketches of some influential personalities such as Ibn Battuta, Nelson Mandela, and King Lalibela.
Community
We will also be looking into the rise of the slave trade and colonialism and then the path to freedom and equality.
