This is a fun and musical way to discuss a tough subject on plate boundaries and how they affect the African Rift Valley along a divergent plate boundary where the Somali Plate and African Plate are drifting apart. In millions of years, this could cause not only East Africa to become a new small continent, but would create a new ocean.

This lesson incorporates music as a learning tool. Students will enjoy the new rendition of the song Breaking Up is Hard to Do. It is a love song from West Africa to the East African Rift Valley. An original teacher-created MP3 of the song is included in this lesson.

OBJECTIVES:

1. The learner will listen to and analyze the song.
2. The learner will understand how physical processes shape patterns in the physical environment specific to tectonic plated forces.
3. The learner will describe different landforms such as trenches and lakes near Africa’s Great Rift Valley and the physical processes that cause their development.
4. The student will explore how people, places, and environments changed over time and the effects of these changes.
5. The student will demonstrate their understanding of the causes and effects of environmental changes on people and the economy.

• Detailed teacher instructions
• Suggesting videos (Not Mandatory for Lesson)
