Turner's Passport to Learning

Hi Students,

Today, you took your Africa Map Test and we started learning about Africa’s ethnic groups.  As you worked in your centers, you learned about the Bantu, Arab, Swahili, and Ashanti – their language, religion, what part of Africa they lived in, and many other interesting facts.  We will continue our exploration on Tuesday (Monday is a holiday – enjoy).  There is also an opportunity for EXTRA CREDIT.  The criteria and rubric was given to you with your packets.  Your choices were:  African Folktale, African Tribal Mask, and Kente Cloth.  I am attaching information about what each colors represent for the Kente Cloth.  If you decide (and I hope you do) to do the extra credit, it is due on Wednesday – I can’t wait to see your presentation.
