Africa Paper Topic

Post under your class -->

Here's a sample of what you should write:

I am interested in learning more about Ian Smith, the Prime Minister of Rhodesia from 1965-79 who apparently made it illegal to consider that Africans might have created the ruins at Great Zimbabwe. I think it's interesting to think about how the British turned over power to a small group of white people who continued to rule Rhodesia until 1980. I'm also interested in learning about how Robert Mugabe, the current leader of Zimbabwe, came to power. He's been in the news lately, with the contested elections in Zimbabwe, and I think that knowing more about Ian Smith would help me put Mugabe in context.

Below is some material we'll look at in class Monday. It's not part of your HW, but
I'm posting it here in case you are interested in learning more about Rome:

I just found a site that looks interesting...

http://www.classicsunveiled.com/romel/html/index.html

Look at where it comes from:

http://www.classicsunveiled.com/romel/html/recog.html

and consider how reliable it is...

It's definitely accessible. But is it accurate???

What sources does it cite?

How does this connect to the web pages you will make???
