If you are sharing a hard copy, be sure to un-do the hyperlink and just include the url.

5. Each student should be navigating the maps individually and using the information and visuals presented to answer the questions in the Google Doc.

6. As students are working, the instructor should be encouraging students to utilize all of the different views of Africa that the interactive map provides.

This question asks students to use the information presented throughout the interactive map to make predictions about the larger historical impact of African Imperialism, especially moving forward into World War I.
