Option 1: Find a way that (formerly)
colonized people have mixed native and colonizing culture to create new art
forms/means of expression or to celebrate culture. (Think
Négritude and Coupé Décalé.) Write about your discovery detailing: what it
is, who is involved, how it was created (and by who), what purpose it serves,
and how it is manifest today. Make a
visual to accompany your writing (poster, powerpoint, video, multimedia, etc…)
Option 2: Find a poem written by
a francophone writer from an area that was formerly colonized. Analyze the poem (you will turn this in along
with a copy of the poem), consider: the message, how it is communicated,
style/structure, your personal response.
Memorize and present to me a minimum of 8 lines from the poem.
Extra credit points will be based on your effort and the quality of your work.
