Source document note

The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

• exemplars - p.22: Activity 1 is followed on the page by three parallel lines, 'Eg Savanna Belt States-Mole-Dagbani and Gonja', 'Forest Belt States - Bono, Adansi, Asante, Denkyira and Akwamui.' and 'Coastal Belt States - The Anlo, The Fante, Ga-Adangme and Effutu', none of them numbered and the first indented differently from the other two. Kept as three lines, which is how the page reads.
