This project was originally located at The Ohio State University. It was moved to Pittsburgh's Carnegie- Mellon University in September 1960. Project Africa was created on March 1, 1967. It was a 40-month project designed specifically to develop inquiry-oriented instructional materialsand guides for use in improving learning about Africa south of theSahara in grades 7-12 of American schools. The instructional materials contained here- in were the first of a number of such materials intended for usein teaching about AfricasoutthoftheSaI in tory or world cultures courses. They represent the results of extensive research during the summer and fall of 1967 and of limited classroom try- outs during the spring of 1968. These materials are in the form submitted to nation-wide field testing during the 1969 spring semester. By examining and adapting them to their own situations local schools will thus be able to include a vital,up-to-date, stimulating study of Africa south of the Sahara, its peoples and theirculture as an integral part of their secondary schoolsocial studies curricula. The materials included here are based on research conducted by: Barry K. Beyer Herbert S.

They are only approximations offinished instructional materials and should be subject to extensiverevision and refinement. It was the pur- pose of the classroomtryouts--for which these wereprepared--to provide the experience and information needed todevelop effective and w-mthwhilematerial;; for use in teaching about Africasouth of the Sahara in 7-1L_hgrade social studies programs. The evaluation of the resultsof this experimentation is included in the Final Report of ProjectAfrica (1970). Dr. Barry K. Beyer Director Dr. E. Perry Hicks Associate Director Summer 1969 7' USING THE TEACHING GUIDES Each teaching guide for this programon Africa south of the Sahara is organized along similar lines. For every major unit there are introductory comments,a statement of general unit objectives and a brief outline of the daily activities which comprise it. Each daily octivity has a separate plan which includesa statement of its purpose; a list of more specific knowledge, skill and affective objectives; andan outline of the strategy to be used in conduc- ting the activity. These are printed on yellow paper. The teaching strategy outlined for each daily activity is divided into two columns. The left-hand column contains the key questionsor directions for the main activities required tomove toward accomplishing the objectives of the activity. Not every question a teacher may wish or need to ask is included here. Others may have to be asked in order tosecure useful or desired responses. The right hand column contains the substance of the studentresponses
