South Africa I

Welcome back to English after the holidays.

For the first weeks of the spring term, we are going to work with South Africa. As you may remember, we watched the movie Invictus before the holidays.

To start today's lesson, let's have a look at this picture. What do you think is in this photo (click to enlarge)? Write down what you think and then we will discuss it.




Then, we are going to work with these words in order for us to understand the text better: https://quizlet.com/259252391/south-africa-the-rise-of-a-nation-flash-cards/ 

Then, we are going to have a look at these questions:
  •  Why do people in South Africa speak Afrikaans, a dialect of Dutch? 
  • ... And why do they speak English too? 
  • What was apartheid?
  • When did South Africa finally become a democracy?

Answer the questions in your notebook or in a Google doc.
