DVD Information about
A Day in the Life of a Village in Africa
Product Description
What is it REALLY like to live in Africa? Scenes of daily life in the village of Sayaga, a small farming village in southwest Burkina Faso. Filmed in 2002 by Christopher D. Roy, Professor of African art at the University of Iowa, the DVD includes scenes of food preparation, building a house, children in school, spinning thread, weaving, making pottery, forging iron, mask performances, a traditional funeral, sand divination, balafon music, and much more. To provide a balanced view of life in Africa I have included scenes of city life in Accra, Ghana as part of the introduction. The DVD is suitable for K-12 students, college students, and anyone interested in life in Africa.

Day in the life as a teching tool
I used "A Day in the Life of a Village in Africa" as a counter view to the video of "Things Fall Apart." My class read the book and as my usual reward I showed them a corresponding video presentation. The videos offered a wonderful starting point for in class discussions, reflections and of course the exam essay. Apart from the extra school work I feel my student's knowledge was enhanced by viewing this video.A Day in the Life of a Village in Africa
