Abstract	The document presents the sixth grade teaching unit of an interdisciplinary work project on Africa, one of a number of products developed by a summer workshop for teachers on African curriculum development. The overall objective is to clarify some similarities and differences between Western and African cultures, as well as to illustrate diversity within the African continent. This unit is centered around the traditional African story-telling techniques, particularly those incorporating music, of the Igbo people of Nigeria and the Shona people of Zimbabwe. Introductory material states instructional objectives, including the central idea, seven concepts, and 19 skills pertaining to music, visual arts, language arts, and social studies. It also discusses teaching strategies and learning activities. The following section of the document presents six daily lesson plans. Each plan includes objectives, instructions for teacher preparation and implementation, a list of needed materials, activity suggestions, and reproducible handouts. Activities include listening to stories, discussing, learning chants, matching African and American proverbs, drawing inferences and conclusions, comparing cultures, and dramatizing. Concluding sections offer lists of audiovisual materials and books; suggested art, language arts, and social studies activities with bibliographies and handouts; and an appendix comparing African oral narratives of various areas.
