About Cape Verde
This Cape Verde lesson set uses dated UNESCO records and country pages from the World Bank and African Development Bank. Six themes teach source-aware English: Cidade Velha, a World Heritage index, intangible heritage research, broad country context, data labels, and focused questions. Each lesson keeps the source, claim, and date together.
