Ghana, The Rediscovered Soccer Might Workbook: Teachers' Edition

About the Book

There is one thing common to every Ghanaian- they all love the game of soccer and the Ghana Black Stars. Therefore, I am confident that students will find this workbook worthwhile the fun to learn. This book integrates Language Arts, mathematics and Critical Thinking skills. Football is not only a wonderful game that unites millions of fans around the world, it is also a modern symbol of solidarity on account of its diversity - irrespective of faith, colour of skin, political commitments and affiliations, people are carried away by this beautiful, emotional and exciting spectacle Thousands of Ghanaian soccer fans thronged the precincts of the Arrival Hall of the Kotoka International Airport to catch a glimpse of the Black Stars who returned from the 2006 Germany World Cup soccer tournament on Friday June 30, 2006. Ghanaians walked around, chest erect, flags on cars, looking others in the eye and happily asserting their nationality. For a brief moment redolent of the imminent Ghana’s 50th birthday of independence, the national soccer team, the Black Stars, has made it possible for Ghanaians to relive their dream—the PRIDE OF AFRICA.
