African Cultures in Black Panther 5-E Lesson | Investigate Wakanda | Microsoft

A STUDENT FAVORITE EVERY YEAR! A GREAT BLACK HISTORY MONTH RESOURCE TOO!

This lesson examines “Wakanda” to learn about Africa’s cultural diversity & the real African traits that inspired Marvel's "Black Panther" movie. The activities are engaging for students & the guided, 5-E format is easy for you to use! Fill-in notes accompany the lesson. Begin with a “Sorting Hat” warm-up to clear up common misconceptions about Africa. Next, explore how the filmmaker blended traits of various African groups together to create the imaginary nation of “Wakanda”. Then, an investigation activity challenges your class to identify connections between the film & real world. A printable “walk-around” poster version is also included for in-class instruction. Finally, assess learning with a fun activity where students write a recipe explaining how to create “Wakanda”. Students do not need to have seen the movie, but in my experience, most have & love the connections! Your purchase has print & interactive, digital versions of the materials. Made for traditional in-class learning or digital 1:1 classrooms. Everything you need is included!
