, QUESTION 1 (3 LESSON PLANS PROVIDED)
Grade 8 Social Sciences Integrated Lesson Activity
Topic: Colonialism in Africa (History) and Settlement Patterns (Geography)
CAPS References:
History: Term 2, Topic 3 – The Scramble for Africa (CAPS, Grade 8, p. 47)
Geography: Term 2, Topic 2 – Settlement (CAPS, Grade 8, p. 44)
a) Integration of History and Geography Topics
This lesson integrates the History topic "The Scramble for Africa" with the
Geography topic "Settlement Patterns". Learners will explore how European
colonisation shaped settlement patterns in African countries, especially in terms of
urbanisation, land ownership, and resource access. For example, they will analyse
how colonial town planning and forced removals impacted where and how people
live today. This approach allows learners to make sense of the past (History) while
understanding its spatial consequences (Geography).
b) School Context Description
The school is located in a semi-rural area in Limpopo. Class sizes are large (45–50
learners per class), and many learners come from low-income households. The
school has limited access to technology (one computer lab and one projector for
shared use) but has chalkboards and printed resources. Learners are multilingual,
with Sepedi and Tsonga as dominant home languages, and English as the language
of teaching and learning. The community is historically marginalised, which shapes
learners' perspectives on land, history, and justice.
c) Learning Objectives
1. Learners will be able to explain the reasons for colonisation in Africa and how
colonial powers divided and controlled African land.
