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? (1 page minimum, typed)

Dear Jackie,
Thank you for including Swahili as part of the African Conference Makeup Assignment.
We hope your students found their visit to store both educational and helpful.
Swahili brings artisans products from 11 countries on the African continent; and are proud members of the Fair Trade Federation.
Let is know if we can be of any help in the future
.
Asante/Thanks
