Interested in learning more about Ghana?
Next week in unit of inquiry on Trade we are looking at cocoa production in Ghana and discussing Fair Trade. There is a great resource from the UK's Comic Relief fund cal
led 'PaPaPaa' which in Twi means, the best of the best. It's a great resource for anyone teaching either about Ghana or about cocoa production, Fair Trade or all of the above. Although the materials are 7 years old now, I still find them invaluable resources:
Another great resource if you are studying Ghana is:
This was made by my friend and our school's Library Media Specialist Tanja Galetti (you can follow her on Twitter @tgaletti). It includes some great resources for studying about textiles and beads in Ghana, as well as studying Twi names and phrases and a whole rake of other resources and ideas.
Another useful site if you are looking at Ghanaian Adinkra patterns is: www.adinkra.org
Here you can find out the meaning of different symbols and download the images.
Another useful site is Oxfam Cool Planet's Ghana Virtual Journey for finding out about Ghanaian food, arts and crafts and about other aspects of Ghanaian daily life.
Enjoy finding out more about this great country and its amazing cultural heritage.
