SQ3R Geography

East Africa has many different geographical features. East Africa has many highlands as well plains, but East Africa is mainly known for the Great Rift Valley. Most of the East African population lives on highlands, as more vegetation grows there. Mt. Kilimanjaro is 5,895 meters, and stands in Kenya. There are many elephants, giraffes, lions, zebras, and flamingos. To protect wild life in East Africa, a national park was established in Tanzania. Africa's largest lake, Lake Victoria, is also in East Africa. The highlands are very wet and rainy, and the plains are very dry.

Scramble for Africa

1. Our strategy was to get all the land with the places that had the resources we needed, as well as the places that the other teams needed.
2. The factors we considered were what resources we needed and where they were found, as well as what the other teams may need. 3. I think that all the teams may have won in their own way, as most of them got the places they wanted, though some countries had more land than the other.
4. As I said, most of the countries got the places they wanted, but had less than others. By going by who had the least land, I'd have to say that Spain lost.

Cartoon

The main visual elements of this cartoon are Africa, and the massive footprint. I think the footprint symbolizes the mark Europe left on Africa, and the artist sees it as a very negative thing, as the footprint takes over almost all of Africa. Also, the land under the shoe print is very cracked and dry, making it seem like the Europeans took their resources, and stripped them of their necessities.

SQ3R Modern Africa

Today in East Africa, you'll find skyscrapers in the capital cities of countries like Tanzania and Kenya, but then also nomadic herders roaming through Somalia. Most of the East African countries economies heavily rely on agriculture. For example, Sudan's economy is based almost entirely on agriculture, and Ethiopia, who has never been ruled by another foreign country, exports coffee, livestock, and oilseeds. Other countries also depend on tourism.
