Map of Africa

The textbook company omitted a lot of useful information the map. One of the reasons they probably did this was because of the time, money, and effort it would have cost. Textbook companies don't have time, they have so many other things to do and print out so many other textbooks and they only have a certain amount of money to spent on certain textbooks to fit their budget. Another reason would be to make students read the book more carefully. It's a pain for e students, but the information is in the reading so no learning is lost. However, it also gives teachers an activity to do in class, which was the same thing we did today in class, which was making the students read the book and make a new map, which is interactive and helped my understanding of everything going on in Africa with the kingdoms, cities, and trade. The impact of the omissions is that learning is now hard, meaning that Africa is empty. And to get the knowledge of everything else, you have to read rather than see it. But redoing the map impacts the students and people seeing the map better because it shows everything going on helping our understanding and it shows the complexity of Africa.
