The document provides instructions for students to create a samba song about the history of slavery and migration to Brazil. Students are asked to discuss key details like the countries slaves came from in Africa, their journey and experiences in Brazil, their role in developing samba music, and later migrations within Brazil. Students will draft their songs, check them against criteria, and may optionally perform them for the class. Others will provide feedback in the form of positives and areas for improvement.

Remember that, although musically these songs are upbeat, often the theme or the lyric is serious and is based on real historical events. Think about the voyage of slaves to Brazil in the past- Who were the slaves? What were they taken to Brazil for? Where did they come from and where did they go to when they arrived in Brazil and long after? (This is important- The migration is the main geographical factor which has influenced the culture).
