A special one-off lesson I made for my students in the run up to teaching about slavery in the British Empire. I didn’t want them to have the one view of Africa, or to stereotype Africa as a continent full of nothing but warring tribes, so made this lesson.
It involves group work investigating various different African countries and civilisations, from various points in time.
However, if you don’t like the layout of the lesson the resources will hopefully still be helpful in investigating a wide range of historic African cultures.

Warriors, Empires and Freedom Fighters: Black History
A collection of resources, activities and full lessons on black history. Rather than have the main focus on slavery, these lessons examine black pioneers throughout history, those who fought against slavery and successful African empires. Topics include ancient civilisations, the Mali Empire, the Haiti Revolution, abolitionists and World War One. These lessons and activities can be used as part of black history month, or incorporated into history modules in general to create a more diverse curriculum. A smaller bundle focusing just on Africa before slavery is available for £3.

The lessons provide an opportunity for students to learn about the variety of different African cultures and societies that existed, dispersing any misconceptions they might have about Africa's people and past.
