Discussing Interesting Africans

 Teachers were given the task of discussing the lives of ten famous Africans.  In small groups they decided which four of the ten people given were the most interesting and then justified their choices.


After lively discussions, in English of course, each group presented their choices to the whole class.



The purpose of the activity was to build the teachers' confidence in speaking English and to give them an example of an activity that encourages student participation

    Enjoying your blog very much. The picture of the classroom with children 4 to a desk and on the floor is very remiscent of my visit to Kigoma last year.
    A recent initiative has been the establishment
    of the Hassan Maajar Trust which aims to
    raise funds for providing desks for all
    Government schools in Tanzania. This charity
    has been established in memory of Hassan
    Maajar, son of the former High Commissioner
    to UK (and a very good friend of BTS / TDT)
    and now H.C. to USA, Her Excellency
    Mwanaidi Maajar. Hassan was tragically killed
    in a hit and run accident in Swaziland shortly
    after Mwanaidi’s appointment to the UK.
    The Hassan Maajar Trust is now partnered
    with Bank M as corporate sponsor and they
    have already started joint initiatives to raise
    TSh. 200m (£80,000) for desks.
    Looking forward to seeing news of your TDT funded project work.
