Suggestions for Extensions:

Home Economics:

Start collecting Portuguese, Brazilian, and Mozambican recipes and compare them, looking for similarities and differences in ingredients and methods. What are cassava and maize? Have students look for these in the grocery store. How are these foods prepared and eaten?

Social Studies:

For homework, ask the students to look for newspaper, magazine, or internet articles featuring African nations. How often is Africa featured in the news, and when it is, consider how it is portrayed. For example, negatively or positively? Success or tragedy?

Visual Arts:

In a multimedia project (painting, drawing, collage, etc) of the students' choice, have them display “Africa” as a concept. Compare the students' works and discuss themes and possible stereotypes.

Mathematics:

Compare Canadian and Mozambican statistics and percentages for factors such as HIV/AIDS, education, infant mortality from the UN Human Development Index.

Creative Writing:

Write a newspaper article on the colonization of Mozambique. Choose to write this from either a European point of view or from a Mozambican point of view. Have students share their articles and reflect on the differences.
