Connection
- Another contribution Africa made is astronomy.

Big idea
Another big idea we can learn from Africa is to let people from another country help us. Africa let Arabia into the country and they got their first written language and new beliefs.
Another big idea we can learn from Africa is to be generous. A king Was very genoruos and people loved him, even though he caused inflation is Cairo. Americ can learn from this to give to charity to help out the poor people or jhomeless people.
- One big idea we can learn from Africa is no matter ho harsh ones living place or condition may be, we can find ways to adapt to how we live.
