OK guys…you got your wishes. No school today. But…we still have our study of Nelson Mandela to finish up. If you left your timeline
assignment at the school on Thursday, you can turn it in on Tuesday when we return. You know what needs to be done – do your work over break and transfer it to the timeline when you return. If you got everything with you – finish it up and turn it in on Monday. Saturday’s assignment is still due posted to Google docs by Saturday 11:59 PM. Since our Mandela link wasn’t working well, I had planned on concentrating our Friday class on Brenda Fassie – and with Nana teaching us the dance steps to her sound – I was going to add the attached music videos. If you get the urge and you would like to get to know a significant (not only South African, but African, and world) pop star – take a look below.
I will contact you today about the Chicago trip – the forecast keeps changing (right now it looks OK) – we just need to keep an eye on the weather. As of Friday morning – Chicago is still on. Email me if you have questions. And I’ll contact you later today. Meanwhile enjoy an inspiring South African voice.
Brenda Fassie – The Madonna of the Townships (1964 to 2004)
