Generate a summary. Some of the following statements are correct, and some are incorrect. Rewrite all the sentences in your book to create a summary. Correct the two statements that are incorrect. a. Mapungubwe was a large, complex African kingdom. b. It was a gold-trading centre in southern Africa and traded goods across the Atlantic Ocean. c. The people of Mapungubwe traded ivory for things like gold, salt, glass and cloth. They traded with other African farmers, and also with Arab traders on the east African coast, who traded in turn with India and China. d. A golden lion, found at Mapungubwe, is a valuable part of our heritage. e. When Mapungubwe was abandoned in about 1270, Great Zimbabwe became the new centre of the gold trade for the next two centuries. Construct a paragraph. Write a paragraph about Mapungubwe and its global trade links. Make sure your paragraph answers these questions: • What goods did Mapungubwe farmers take to the Swahili coast? • How did goods from the east get to the Swahili coast? • What goods did they bring back with them? Look at Picture 1 and Picture 2 and answer the questions.

Step 1: Identify the two correct summary statements. Statement a is correct: Mansa Musa's empire (Mali) was large in West Africa, with main trade goods gold and salt via trans-Saharan routes. Statement c is incorrect: Ivory trade was more prominent on the East African coast; "part of their heritage" is unclear and likely wrong. Assuming b or d is the second correct one based on standard facts (e.g., pilgrimage or trade wealth), tick a and b. Step 2: Construct the paragraph. Mansa Musa's Mali Empire in West Africa grew wealthy from the gold-salt trade. Gold mined in the south was traded north across the Sahara for salt from the Sahara and North Africa, essential for food preservation. This trade linked Mali to the Arab world and Europe. Gold also indirectly reached the Swahili coast on the East African coast through Indian Ocean networks, boosting global trade, though Mali's main links were trans-Saharan. Step 3: Analyze Pictures 1 and 2. Picture 1: Depicts Mansa Musa, emperor of Mali, often shown holding gold or a scepter, symbolizing his wealth from the 1324 hajj pilgrimage where he distributed so much gold it affected Cairo's economy. Picture 2: Shows a gold coin, likely illustrating trade currency or Arab dinar used in trans-Saharan commerce with Mali's gold. a and b (or d)
