Today we completed and shared our song lyrics bringing South Africa’s study of Apartheid to a close. We read a poem entitled “Dry Your Tears, Africa” and completed questions with the poem analysis. After discussing this, we completed our final Passbook Assignment with the poem- and next class will turn in our passbooks.
HW: Essay corrections are due 3/17- Remember I need the original essay with comments, the rubric, and the final- if one of these pieces is missing I will not be able to regrade your essay.
