Material Detail

This resource is valuable to the learner because it presents the information in a very understandable and simplistic. Ducksters uses a Q & A method to teach its audience, also age-appropriate for 7th graders.  As an added bonus, the site includes “Interesting Facts”, a recorded reading of the article (which is beneficial for ELL or SPED students who need read-alouds), and a 10 question quiz for the instructor to check for comprehension. It is connected to TN standards as follows: 7.16 Analyze the importance of family, labor specialization, and regional commerce in the development of states and cities in West Africa. (C, E, G, H, P) 7.17 Explain the importance of Mansa Musa and locate his pilgrimage to Mecca in 1324. (C, G, H, P)
