This fun and engaging lesson has been commissioned by the History Academy as part of a series on Medieval African history to help fill a much neglected part of the curriculum. For far too long the history of Africa has been relegated, neglected and ignored.

The Empire of Mali was one of the largest empires in Medieval West African History spanning from the Atlantic Coast to central parts of the Sahara desert. Founded by the Lion King in 1214, it had doubled in size by the reign of Mansa Musa, who is offen sited at the richest man in history. He became king because his brother abdicated because he wanted to sail the oceans and ‘pursue knowledge and discovery.’ The historical evidence suggests that he reached America over 180 years before Christopher Columbus . The education system and universities of Timbuktu and Gao were famous throughout the Medieval World and were set up 100 years before both Oxford and Cambridge.

This two part lesson looks at the rise and fall of the Empire of Mali. It looks at how the empire was founded and extended under the first three rulers before moving on to look at how its society was was organised and governed. The second lesson looks in more detail at trade, economy, religion, culture, trade and the economy. This lesson is aimed at KS3 and was designed originally for a middle ability Year 7 class. We have included a range of different activities that you can sellect for your classes from knowledge recall questions, heads and tails, missing words, word search, knowledge quizzes, review triangles and an essay question along with supporting activities.

Medieval African History

This resource bundles together our growing resources on Medieval African History. This exciting topic is often overlooked due to the pressures of the curriculum time or because colleagues are simple not aware of the rich tapestry of African history. The first lesson on why study Medieval African History is a free lesson which sets the scene and the nature of the historical debate. The following lesson gives an overview of the history of the African Empires and Kingdoms during the medieval and early modern periods. The second lesson comes in two formats, the first is an all singing and dancing market place activity which is designed to get students out of their places and collaborating and sharing. The second version is less active and follows the traditional PowerPoint and Worksheet working in tandem. The third lesson looks at why Mali became a powerful Medieval African Empire. It comes in two forms, again market place activity and a more traditional PowerPoint with worksheet. Both lessons include a wide range of activities to suit learners from across the spectrum of ability including an essay, heads and tails, word search, missing word activity, knowledge recall questions and a quiz. The overall aims and objectives of these lessons are: Theme: Medieval African History Know: How rich and powerful were African empires and kingdoms?
