Geography Pizza 1 Students work in pairs or individually. 2 Brainstorm meaning of each term to confirm meaning 3 Have students put the pizza slices together according to the information. 4 If students are unable to match the pieces, they may reenter the text (social studies or other informational text) to locate the information needed to form the pizza. 5 Students may check their answers by matching the symbol on the back of the slice: + Landforms, # Waterways, * Resources (renewable/non-renewable), @ Impact on country’s economy + Government, # Economics, * Culture (Language /Celebrations/Religion), @ Impact on country’s development 6 Students time each other to see who can put the pizza together faster. 7 Students use the same graphic organizer to research another country.

The lowlands are in the north and west, and the highlands are in the south and east. The highest mountain is Mount Kilimanjaro. * In 1866, a child found a pebble on the banks of a river in South Africa. The pebble turned out to be a 21-carat diamond. + A plateau lies both in the lowlands and highlands. The African plateau rises from the coastal plains along the north and west coast lines * Africa is rich in mineral resources that have form over hundreds of millions of years. Copper and diamonds, can not be replaced or can be replaced only over millions of years. + The tectonic plates have been slowly pulling apart to form broad, steep-walled valleys called rifts. As it becomes larger East Africa may become an island like Madagascar. * Waterways # Lakes and rivers provide fresh water and fish. Waterfalls and rapids make travel difficult. # The Nile River, the world’s longest river, flows northward out of the mountains of central Africa. The Okavango River crosses Angola, Namibia, and Botswana and empties in to the Kalahari Desert. # Parts of the Great rift Valley have filled with water to form huge lakes, such as Lake Tanganyika. Africa’s largest lake and second largest freshwater lake in the world is Lake Victoria. # Renewable resources can be used and replaced over a short period of time. Trees, cocoa beans, coffee, and tea are renewable resources. + Impacts on country’s economy @ Many natural changes in Africa’s lands have affected the development of the country. South Africa has developed into a modern industrial state since WWII. @ The country is capable of producing a wide range of consumer and investment goods. South Africa products one fifth of the entire production. @ The economy is based on foreign trade. The mining industry such as gold and diamonds plays a prominent part. @
