Africans In NY: Creative Assignment:
You Can Call Me Groot
In this assignment, we all received a small bit of information on an enslaved African and then wrote around those small pieces of info to create a biography. While doing this assignment, I learned how to weave in small but real pieces of some facts into a self-made story. I learned that I really like to write about true facts mixed into some fiction or just educational thinking. I also liked having to think about where they might be from and how they got to where they are at the end. I really liked the process of this assignment and I hope we get more like this or maybe the Day In The Life piece that we did in the first trimester of seventh grade.
