A. PART ONE: BRAIN DRAIN B. PART TWO: WHAT COUNTRIES COMPRISE MODERN AFRICA?
 * // 1. What to Do During Class on Wednesday March 28 //**
 * After the substitute teacher hands out the "Africa's Health Care Brain Drain" article and questions, spend the first part of class handwriting the answers to the questions.
 * For the last two questions, answer those in one entry in your Google Docs journal. If you want to copy/paste the questions, feel free to download the original document here: [[file:Africa Brain Drain NY Times Editorial Questions.pages]]
 * Once completing the questions, turn in the handwritten answers to the teacher before moving on to part two of class.
 * Before we dig deeper with learning about Africa, the class should have a solid understanding of the countries and regions of Africa. To do this, use the rest of class time learning the locations of African countries using the links on the Learn the African Countries wiki page.
 * On Monday, there will be a quiz on the locations of the African countries. There will be a blank map with numbers inside each country. Students will have the country names on a separate sheet of paper where they will match the numbers from the map with the correct name. This is your only homework for the weekend. Learn the countries to be prepared for the quiz and also look forward to good discussions focusing on the previous classes' activities ("Africa is not..." and "brain drain.")
