Students will be immersed in a part of each of the 5 ancient civilizations and learn about either architecture or daily life using a VR headset and Youtube App.

In this activity, your students will work in groups using their knowledge about Ancient Mali to solve the clues needed to open a Breakout Box. In an added twist, students will only receive one part of the final clue.  They will need to use technology to communicate with each other in order to get the entire clue, open their box, and open the final Breakout Box. 

Students will be using 3 different ways of communication to talk about the Empire of Mali.  This activity will encourage different students to participate in different ways.

This inquiry focuses on understanding how the Kingdom of Mali became a center of wealth in West Africa. The questions, tasks, and sources in this inquiry asks students to analyze a variety of primary and secondary sources to determine the most important factor for generating wealth in Mali: geography, trade, or religion.
