World Regions and Cultures 11- Latin America Group work
Group 1- Bolcome, Burke, Connolly, Donahue, Graffeo
Group 2- Marrone, Palazola, Piraino, Quince, Scuderi
Group 3- Silva, Stasio, Ulrich, Verga, Wood
Group 4- P. Cook
Directions: Be ready to share all important information with the class on 1/5/2021. Groups will present and other groups will record the answers. Work as a group to answer all questions accurately in class. Group members receive a homework grade based on the completion of the presentation of all questions and their correct answers. All questions must be answered by the group. It does not matter if someone is absent. Make sure you all have all of the answers and one or more people can give the answers to the class. In class 1/4/21 someone in the group should create a google doc and share it with the whole group for just your group's questions. That way you can see that all questions are answered and everybody has the answers in the group to present to the class 1/5. On 1/5 the other groups will mark the answers down while P. Cook writes them on the board and the class will discuss some of it too. Please check any answers with P. Cook 1/4 for clarity or to get help.
