Apartheid Ppt
Apartheid was a system of legal racial segregation in South Africa between 1948 and 1994. It classified inhabitants into racial groups and enforced separation in areas like residential areas, education, healthcare, and public services. Black South Africans were stripped of citizenship and classified as citizens of tribal homelands, some of which became independent states. The system led to forced removals and prohibitions on social contact between races.
Paton *Cry the Beloved Country*
Nelson Mandela's quote emphasizes that there is always time to do what is right and morally good. The document then lists different aspects of life in a city and village. It presents discussion questions about Kumalo's experiences at the mission house and learning about his brother and son's situations in Johannesburg, including their hardships, fears, and the corruption that has taken hold in the city. Msimangu expresses his deep faith but also fear about the challenges facing South African society.
Intro History And Geography
Before European colonization, South Africa was sparsely populated by two native African groups, the Khoikhoi and San. The eastern areas were home to Bantu-speaking groups like the Xhosa and Zulu, who lived communally in rural villages and followed strong family and social structures. When Europeans began settling in the 1600s, they took control of more land and resources from native Africans. In 1948, the apartheid system was formally instituted, segregating all South Africans into racial groups and reserving over 80% of the best land and political power for the white minority. Apartheid enforced separate living areas, jobs, public facilities and denied political participation for non-whites, and was finally abolished
The African Literature
This document discusses African literature in the context of colonialism and its lasting impacts. It argues that African literature was shaped by the experiences of slavery, oppression, and violence under colonial rule. Writers did not write from a place of compassion but out of disgust for their lived experiences. Colonialism imposed slave mentalities and new cultural ideas that displaced African identities and traditions. True freedom for Africans may be impossible to achieve, as decolonizing the mind from slave mentalities takes decades or longer after political independence and requires struggling with one's own mind, other colonized people, and lingering colonial power structures.
Characteristics of african literature report
African literature preserves the rich culture and traditions of African nations through myths and trickster tales that explain creation and existence. When European colonial powers like England, Portugal, and France conquered Africa, most African literary pieces shed light on controversial issues such as racial discrimination, political conflicts, civil war, gender sensitivity, and human rights issues.
African Literature
The novel No Longer at Ease by Chinua Achebe follows Obi Okonkwo, a Nigerian civil servant who struggles with corruption and identity after returning from studying in Britain. Obi faces temptation to accept bribes in order to meet financial obligations, despite believing education could curb corruption. He also struggles to balance his Western education with Igbo cultural traditions, such as when he wishes to marry a woman deemed unacceptable by his community. Obi ultimately succumbs to corruption and is arrested, showing the difficulty of remaining incorruptible within the system.
The African Literature
The novel is about such an empire that “must expand, either by transforming the other, wiping it from the face of the earth”.
History and Literature of Africa
The document provides information about Africa, including its geography, people, languages, education, and literature. It notes that Africa is the second largest continent, separated from Asia by the Suez Canal and Red Sea. It describes the complex diversity of Africa's people and over 800 languages spoken. It highlights some of Africa's most prominent authors like Chinua Achebe, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. The document also discusses Africa's rich tradition of oral literature and praise singing, as well as the variation in education standards across Africa.

Final Project / Paper (320 points)
• For the final project each student is required to write a 3,000 – 5,000 word final paper that
addresses a contemporary controversy related to gender. This is an argumentative paper where
students are expected to take a stance on a particular issue and find textual support to make their
case. In order to complete this assignment, students must first find some kind of rhetorical artifact,
social movement, communication process, or individual they find particularly interesting. Once a
text or case study is chosen, students should embark on a scholarly research project. In order to
make an argument, it is vital to have textual support. A minimum of EIGHT (8) outside ACADEMIC
sources about their particular research project are required. Remember, this is a minimum—to write
the best paper it is vital to have a healthy amount of support to help argue the paper’s thesis
statement. Students are encouraged to be creative and devise the type of study that fits their interests
and academic background. Here are a few different types of papers that can be written. Please note
that students are not limited to these types of paper options. If there is another type of paper you
would like to write, please feel free to pitch the idea to me in advance or within the final paper
abstract:
1. Close textual analysis of how gender is communicated within a rhetorical artifact (i.e., you
may take an advertisement, film, or song and conduct a close textual analysis of its
underlying components. For example, let’s say you’re interested in the objectification of
women in reality TV. You may want to examine a show like America’s Next Top Model and
discuss how the show contributes to gender stereotypes about female bodies).
2. Analysis of communication and gender within a social movement (i.e., you may take a
political group or organization and analyze how they form a community and discuss gender
related issues. For example, let’s say you are interested in the “It Gets Better” campaign. You
may want to write about how the campaign addresses LGBTQ identity and issues related to
coming out of the closet in the 21
st
century).
3. Analysis of gender within a communication process (i.e., you may examine a
communication process and how it contributes to gender identity in contemporary society.
For example, let’s say you want to examine the use of gendered pronouns in grade schools.
A final paper could discuss how this contributes to the social construction of gender in
childhood).

StatementWhen the United States entered into World War II, it.docx
Statement:
When the United States entered into World War II, it sent an estimated 16 million troops overseas. Among them were nearly half a million Latinos. On the eve of war, most Latinos lived in rural areas, had incomes that lagged behind national averages so that poverty was enduring, lived with entrenched segregation, suffered from housing discrimination, had inadequate access to health care, and held very little educational opportunities.
Yet despite these atrocities, Latinos would come to serve in every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces and participate in multiple campaigns. From the beach invasions in North Africa & Sicily to the storming of Normandy, France as part of D-Day; Latinos were there. From the island hopping campaigns in the Pacific against the Japanese Imperial Army to serving in defense related industries states-side or for the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corp; Latinos were, again, there.
Moreover, the Latino soldier has the distinction of achieving more decorations for bravery on the battlefield than any other ethno-racial group involved in this conflict; from Congressional Medals of Honor to Purple Hearts, and so on, and so on down the line.
At home, the Latino community also joined the war effort with unwavering commitment as they publicly displayed their patriotism by either purchasing liberty bonds, participating in Red Cross campaigns, or forming their own USOs (Senoritas USOs) for Latino service men who were typically barred from partaking in traditional USO activities
Worth mentioning are the contributions of Latinas to the war effort as they, by the thousands, worked in defense related industries filling in for absent spouses and sons gone off overseas. In these industries they worked as drivers of heavy machinery, as aircraft assembly line operatives, as medical personnel, as office workers, as translators, and in steel, railroad, and meat-packing plants.
Let it be known also, that it would be this generation who would come the lead the fight against discrimination throughout the U.S. The conflict overseas exposed Latinos to an international setting where men and women of different races and nationalities worked together for a common cause. It also created a new awareness of race and racism throughout the world. As such, Latinos became receptive to a more liberal and open society and returned home questioning the racial order and subordination of their own communities. In other words, they were deeply affected by continued discrimination as the country was still unwilling to extend full democratic rights to them. The end result was that the war would amplify an already entrenched civil rights movement that tried to deal with the gap between the doctrine of democracy the US advocated abroad and the racial prejudices against Latinos it continued to maintain at home
It is clear then, that Latinos and Latinas were very much committed to the war effort both overseas and states-sides and are absolutely dese.

Students will review guidelines, exemplars, and brainstorm qualities of strong projects. They will then create their digital text, build a citations page, embed their work into a class wiki for peer review and self-assessment. The goal is for students to tell the story of their research through multimedia and collaboration.
Layered curriculum
The document discusses the debate around where the famous Rosetta Stone should be housed, as it is currently located in the British Museum but Egypt wants it returned. The stone is significant because it helped decode hieroglyphics by having the same text inscribed in three scripts: hieroglyphic, demotic, and Greek. While Egypt wants it housed in a new museum near the pyramids, the UK argues it should remain in the British Museum where it has been on display for over 200 years.

Final Assignment
TOPIC: How black women are portrayed in the media
From the student ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ATTACHED JUST NEED TO ADD 3 MORE SOURCES... PLEASE STICK TO TOPIC ABOVE ^^^^^^^^
Final Project / Paper (320 points)
• For the final project each student is required to write a 3,000 – 5,000 word final paper that
addresses a contemporary controversy related to gender. This is an argumentative paper where
students are expected to take a stance on a particular issue and find textual support to make their
case. In order to complete this assignment, students must first find some kind of rhetorical artifact,
social movement, communication process, or individual they find particularly interesting. Once a
text or case study is chosen, students should embark on a scholarly research project. In order to
make an argument, it is vital to have textual support. A minimum of EIGHT (8) outside ACADEMIC
sources about their particular research project are required. Remember, this is a minimum—to write
the best paper it is vital to have a healthy amount of support to help argue the paper’s thesis
statement. Students are encouraged to be creative and devise the type of study that fits their interests
and academic background. Here are a few different types of papers that can be written. Please note
that students are not limited to these types of paper options. If there is another type of paper you
would like to write, please feel free to pitch the idea to me in advance or within the final paper
abstract:
1. Close textual analysis of how gender is communicated within a rhetorical artifact (i.e., you
may take an advertisement, film, or song and conduct a close textual analysis of its
underlying components. For example, let’s say you’re interested in the objectification of
women in reality TV. You may want to examine a show like America’s Next Top Model and
discuss how the show contributes to gender stereotypes about female bodies).
2. Analysis of communication and gender within a social movement (i.e., you may take a
political group or organization and analyze how they form a community and discuss gender
related issues. For example, let’s say you are interested in the “It Gets Better” campaign. You
may want to write about how the campaign addresses LGBTQ identity and issues related to
coming out of the closet in the 21
st
century).
3. Analysis of gender within a communication process (i.e., you may examine a
communication process and how it contributes to gender identity in contemporary society.
For example, let’s say you want to examine the use of gendered pronouns in grade schools.
A final paper could discuss how this contributes to the social construction of gender in
childhood).
4. A scholarly activist paper written to a particular individual or organization (i.e., you may
write a formal scholarly letter to an individual, organization or government body

StatementWhen the United States entered into World War II, it.docx
Statement:
When the United States entered into World War II, it sent an estimated 16 million troops overseas. Among them were nearly half a million Latinos. On the eve of war, most Latinos lived in rural areas, had incomes that lagged behind national averages so that poverty was enduring, lived with entrenched segregation, suffered from housing discrimination, had inadequate access to health care, and held very little educational opportunities.
Yet despite these atrocities, Latinos would come to serve in every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces and participate in multiple campaigns. From the beach invasions in North Africa & Sicily to the storming of Normandy, France as part of D-Day; Latinos were there. From the island hopping campaigns in the Pacific against the Japanese Imperial Army to serving in defense related industries states-side or for the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corp; Latinos were, again, there.
Moreover, the Latino soldier has the distinction of achieving more decorations for bravery on the battlefield than any other ethno-racial group involved in this conflict; from Congressional Medals of Honor to Purple Hearts, and so on, and so on down the line.
At home, the Latino community also joined the war effort with unwavering commitment as they publicly displayed their patriotism by either purchasing liberty bonds, participating in Red Cross campaigns, or forming their own USOs (Senoritas USOs) for Latino service men who were typically barred from partaking in traditional USO activities
Worth mentioning are the contributions of Latinas to the war effort as they, by the thousands, worked in defense related industries filling in for absent spouses and sons gone off overseas. In these industries they worked as drivers of heavy machinery, as aircraft assembly line operatives, as medical personnel, as office workers, as translators, and in steel, railroad, and meat-packing plants.
Let it be known also, that it would be this generation who would come the lead the fight against discrimination throughout the U.S. The conflict overseas exposed Latinos to an international setting where men and women of different races and nationalities worked together for a common cause. It also created a new awareness of race and racism throughout the world. As such, Latinos became receptive to a more liberal and open society and returned home questioning the racial order and subordination of their own communities. In other words, they were deeply affected by continued discrimination as the country was still unwilling to extend full democratic rights to them. The end result was that the war would amplify an already entrenched civil rights movement that tried to deal with the gap between the doctrine of democracy the US advocated abroad and the racial prejudices against Latinos it continued to maintain at home
It is clear then, that Latinos and Latinas were very much committed to the war effort both overseas and states-sides and are absolutely dese.

Layered curriculum
The document discusses the debate around where the famous Rosetta Stone should be housed, as it is currently located in the British Museum but Egypt wants it returned. The stone is significant because it helped decode hieroglyphics by having the same text inscribed in three scripts: hieroglyphic, demotic, and Greek. While Egypt wants it housed in a new museum near the pyramids, the UK argues it should remain in the British Museum where it has been on display for over 200 years.

- 1. AP Literature Newcome Cry, the Beloved Country Research and Multi-Media Presentation Fall 2009 The Objectives: Interpret and analyze the meaning of literary works from diverse cultures and authors by applying different critical lenses and analytic techniques. Relate recognized works and authors of American and World literature to major literary movements, themes, and issues of their eras. Analyze the literal and interpretive meanings of literary works using a variety of critical approaches. Enhance critical analyses and comprehension of texts by employing research methodology from primary and secondary sources. The students will demonstrate the ability to compose in a variety of modes by developing content, employing specific forms, and selecting language appropriate for a particular audience. Develop key ideas in support of a thesis using ample, specific, concrete evidence. The Opportunity: You and your partner(s) are going to read and study Alan Paton’s Cry, the Beloved Country. The text is essentially a social protest that deals with the rise of Apartheid in Africa. As you read the text, you are to choose another social or political protest to research and study. You must find and read relevant literature (non-fiction) that came about as a result of the movement. For example, Martin Luther King’s “I have a Dream” speech was a direct result of the Civil Rights Movement. You must choose at least one piece that opposes the movement and one piece that supports the movement. The pieces of literature you choose to read must be approved by me, and they should total no less than 50 pages. Your goal in this endeavor is to connect the social protest of Cry, the Beloved Country to the social protest of your choice. Once your protest and non-fiction pieces are chosen, you will begin to compile the pieces for your multi-media presentation. You must find factual information from approved websites, photographs, videos, and audio (music or speeches) relevant to your subject. As you find these resources, you should begin compiling a works cited page that strictly adheres to the MLA Format. You then are going to begin compiling a Google Earth presentation. We will begin the journey at Brunswick High School. You will then transport us to Africa. You will
