  1. HEART OF DARKNESS “Understanding the setting of the book”

  2. I.- Go to youtube and play the following video: “African Drums Burundi Warriors of the Drum”. Have the students listen to it while they watch the presentation started on the next slide.

  3. Now you are immersed in the African Congo… • year 1901… • You are part of a ship’s crew… • your yawl…”The Nellie”. In one word, describe what you feel

  4. II.- Go to youtube and play the following video “Chinese Bamboo flute yoga”. While listening, set the atmosphere by reading the following text slowly and smoothly. (Go to next slide)Students lean on their desks and close their eyes. The classroom atmosphere is set in complete silence. Nobody interrupts.

  5. Close your eyes. Imagine you are sailing a riverboat on a river… There are thousands of huge trees all around you… What do the trees look like? How do the trees make you feel? You are drawn forward, up the river. There is someone you want to meet there. Is there a breeze? What does it feel like? Is it warm, is it cold? Breathe… The engine of the boat is loud, is it making strange noises? Are you worried about the boat, is everything running OK? The smell of rotting hippo is on the boat, from the Hippo for the Africans onboard. How does it smell? The sun is setting. What does it look like? How much do you see through the trees?

  6. What does the river look like? Is it clear, is it muddy? Is it moving rapidly, or calmly flowing down? The sun has set. How does the darkness feel? The roll of drums emerges from the curtain of trees. What does it sound like? How does it make you feel? What does it mean? Will you be attacked? Is it a peaceful sound? Is this part of a religious ritual for these unknown tribes? The night moves on. What are you thinking? You lie down in your cot on the boat. Now fall asleep. Slowly, journey back to the classroom. Wiggle your toes, return back to your consciousness. When you are ready, open your eyes.

  7. Activity 1.- Write down 5 words that describe your feelings throughout the journey. 2.- Use those 5 words in a letter you will write to your family, telling them how the expedition in the African Congo has been so far.
