Abstract	The Water in Africa Project was realized over a 2-year period by a team of Peace Corps volunteers, World Wise Schools (WWS) classroom teachers, and WWS staff members. As part of an expanded, detailed design, resources were collected from over 90 volunteers serving in African countries, photos and stories were prepared, and standards-based learning units were created for K-12 students. Intended for use with middle school students, this unit can be used in geography and technology integration classes. One class period a day for two or three weeks is suggested. Students, grouped in small research teams, will simulate a trip to Madagascar through the Peace Corps' Water in Africa resources about Madagascar and other related Web sites. Using online research, students will explore the effect of slash/burn agriculture on Madagascar's people, environment, and lemurs. Students will create technology enhanced presentations of their findings and present viable alternatives for both using and protecting Madagascar's natural resources. The unit lists materials needed, outlines applicable standards, poses discussion questions, and lists student objectives. It details day-by-day procedures and suggests assessment activities and follow-up/enrichment activities. (BT)
