This project will give you an opportunity to learn about sub-Saharan Africa through a book study activity. You will be reading a nonfiction text, which you will find either in your local library or through Internet research. Then, you will write a short essay summarizing the main ideas of your selected text. When you begin the search for a book, your first step should be to narrow your field of focus. Ask yourself: What exactly am I looking for? Conducting research for any nonfiction text about sub-Saharan Africa will likely bring you to an overwhelming number of results, so it will be helpful to choose a key topic and go from there.

Here are a few questions you can ask yourself to focus your search:

Is there a particular geographical area of Africa that is most interesting to me?
Are there any recent current events that I am interested in learning more about?
What do I already know about Africa? Do I want to know more about one of those topics?
Am I most interested in a book that focuses on an economic, social, or political topic?
Economic topics related to sub-Saharan Africa include economic struggles in African countries, the impact of the slave trade on the African economy, the overuse of natural resources in parts of Africa, etc.
Social topics related to sub-Saharan Africa include the HIV/AIDS epidemic, a concept called "brain drain," and religious and cultural conflict.
Political topics related to Sub-Saharan Africa include political unrest, the impact of colonialism on government, and etc.
Write an explanatory essay that summarizes the key points of the text you selected for the book study and discusses your evaluation of its strengths and weaknesses. You should use the APA Style to format your in-text citations and works-cited page. Click here to review the Style Guide.

Your essay should be no less than 250 words in length. Click here to view the rubric for this project.

The Empire That Vanished
(1) Using archaeological studies, and Greek writings, historians now know much
more than ever before about the mysterious group of people called the Scythians. (2)
Historians have long known that they were nomadic, barbaric horsemen and a powerful force in Europe for about 400 years. (3) These people ruled a vast area of land for several centurys and then seemed to have vanished completely. (4) Artifacts found in the territory that the Scythians controlled have given clues about how they lived and what things they valued. (5) However, no evidence has been found of a centralized community, nor do historians know what eventually happened to these people. (6) Historians believe that the Scythians originally came from Asia around 700
B.C., searching for better pastures and other peoples to conquer. (7) At its peak the
Scythian kingdom reached from the Danube river east across the Ukraine, the Crimea, and Russia. (8) Historians disagree about the size of the Scythian population. (9) Some think it numbered around half a million; other contend that it numbered only in the tens of thousands. (10) According to evidence uncovered by archaeologists, both the men and the women were feirce warriors. (11) They often traded their surplus goods and furs for crafted gold and fine ceramics made in Greece and central Asia. (12) The Scythians were especially proud of their adornments made of gold and precious stones. (13) They liked to show their wealth and even decorated their horses with gold. (14) Because of their fighting ability, the Scythians were able to acquire great riches. (15) Many of the Scythians’ gold ornaments found in Russia are formed into shapes that tell stories about their everyday life. (16) One elaborate gold neckpiece has figures of a resting calf, a boy milking a sheep, and bare-chested warriors with their weapons close at hand. (17) Into the image of a Scythian woman, another piece was worked, showing what the people looked like. (18) Archaeologists are still working trying to find out what happened to these people. (19) Although the Scythians left many of their treasure behind, researchers have found no trace of where these mighty warriors went.

I MET a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert ... Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage [face] lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which still survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Select one piece of evidence that supports the situational irony of the poem.
