The BU Teaching Africa Program is designed to teach international students about the continent of Africa. Boston University created this program so that students in different academic levels, especially university students, can take advantage of the opportunity to explore Africa. It has various lessons for each topic, such as African history, cultures, geography, literature, music, and many more. Additionally, this program has different learning levels ranging from elementary to university level. The BU Teaching Africa Program is a great resource for creating open-minded perspectives, discussions, and critical thinking about the numerous things that Africa has to offer.

I have reviewed the Elementary Level Lesson Plans and Activities for this program. It has puzzles, games, maps, videos, and other interactive features. I enjoyed seeing each of the lesson plans and activities. If I were to become a teacher one day, I would absolutely hope that I could teach my students about Africa in some way. Africana Studies should be mandatory for all students, not to mention Black students as well. Learning about Africa in general is important for learning about humanity and the origins of human civilization.
