THIS IS BEING POSTED EARLY SO MAKE SURE YOU ARE DOING MAKE UP WORK FOR THE CORRECT DAY!!!
Africa Celebration

If you were gone today, you missed out. Wipe that frown off. It will be OK, but you need to do some work to make up for this. To get credit for the day you need to do 2 of the following 3 activities:

1. Interview a student who went to the celebration. Sample questions may include: What was the best part about the celebration? How did the Model African Union voting turn out? What was the message of Anne Williams from Tostan? What was the most interesting booth at the conference?
(1 page minimum, typed).

2. Visit Swahili Imports at the 5th Street Market. Describe the most interesting things there. Talk with someone who works there and learn at least three new things about African art or culture. (1 page minimum, typed)

3. Find African music on-line. Find at least three different artists. Name the groups you heard. Give a short bio and description of the music. What did you like? What wasn’t your favorite? If possible, what’s the story behind this music?
