Mansa Musa - Source Question & Debate

Part of the African Civilizations topic which we use to introduce key historical concepts to students – they have been developing their basic historical skills and using PEEKA for developing their writing. We build on those in this lesson and prepare ourselves for the Roman topic – which will use more source based enquiries.
