Review the following information about African culture and write a brief essay. The essay must be less than 100 words, on Marymount paper and double spaced. Otherwise, you can hand in a typed copy also double spaced and under 100 words.

Module 1:
The class will be divided into 3 stations. Each station will be responsible to answer the following essential question in essay form:

A) How much of African culture do I share with my own Caribbean culture? (Expository or Narrative)

OR

B) How much has African culture influenced my culture and why? (Persuasive or Narrative)

If you do not have the time, the energy or simply can't be bothered to write a short essay, feel free to answer the above questions in the discussion tab. You won't get full marks, but at least you will get a passing grade or higher depending on your effort.

RULES: You can submit your essay on this page or by emailing me at profesor.smart@gmail.com. However, your prewriting, up to and including your first draft, must be submitted in class. Essays must be brief (200-500 words) and follow the above writing styles. In addition, you must include as many of the vocabulary words found on the 'assignment' page as possible. One word is sufficient but the more words you include correctly, the higher the grade rewarded.

__**CLASS WORK**__

STATION 1:
You will attempt to find African folk dances on the internet (most likely youtube) that resemble many of the traditional dances we are accustomed to here in Barranquilla. You should also capture some footage of local dance for comparison.

STATION 2:
You will find African literature and art that resembles local work. Think of similar themes and ethical situations that are tested upon the stories hero or shown in art.

STATION 3:
You will try to locate African music that sounds similar to music we enjoy here in Barranquilla. Try not to focus only on rhythm and beat but see if you can find similar themes and mood shared between the two types of music.
