Indicator: B3.2.3.5.3 - Perform own music, dance and drama to share creative experiences based on ideas that reflect topical issues in other African communities.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Identify at least three topical issues affecting communities in other African countries (for example, deforestation, girls’ education, clean water) through discussion of short performance clips or teacher-led stories.
Create a short original performance (music, dance, or drama) in a group that communicates one chosen topical issue from another African community.
Perform their composition before the class, using voice, movement, and simple props to inform and educate the audience on the chosen issue.
Explain, in one or two sentences before or after performing, what issue their performance addresses and why it matters to the community it represents.
Give one piece of constructive feedback to another group about how clearly their performance communicated its message.
