Africa South of the Sahara

This WebQuest is designed to help students learn about different cultures in Africa, specifically from the perspective of an African student.  The WebQuest itself will only take between 20-30 minutes, but students will need more time to brainstorm ideas and then create their final presentation-probably another 45-60 minutes.  More time will be needed if you allow students to present their projects to the class.
