 * 1.Explain ** one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project?

Something that really surprised me was the amount of world events that happened in my life so far. There were so many interesting events that I never heard about when it happened. I was also really surprised with the amount of countries I have visited. I haven't really thought about it before, so when I looked at it visually, it really struck me that I've been to so many places in my thirteen years of living.


 * 2.Explain ** one thing you think you did well in this project?

I think my project was really neat and organized. I neatly labeled everything, drew a neat compass rose, and made an organized legend. I also think I've followed all the directions for everything. I've labeled everything in my map, made a compass rose and a legend, wrote seven events in the world and seven in my life, and I've wrote down all the places I've lived, visited, and the place I was born in. Overall I think it was good.


 * 3.Explain ** one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this?

This was a fairly easy project, and I don't think there is much to improve, if you just followed the instructions. So the only thing I think I could've improved in, was making the project look nicer.

**4.**Name at least ** two life skills ** you think you practiced during this project. How did you practice these life skills during this project? Be specific.

The two life skills I think I practiced during this project was problem solving, and independence. I've solved many problems that I've faced in this project such as coloring mistakes, lack of space, and other problems. I've solved those by thinking it through in my head. I've also practiced being independent by solving my own problems and doing the project using my own ideas.

 * = **Who** ||= **Date** || **Diary Entry** ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= May 1763 || 1. I woke up today and had my breakfast. I went outside to play with my friends, when my mom called me back in to the house to finish it. Oh mom, she is so annoying sometimes. After I was finished, I went out to feed the goats. They were messy as always. When I finally got to see my friends, he started to tell me about the manhood training. He told me how we have to learn to fight and become like men. He also told me that we had to cut our fotos. I was so scared! Then I went home to have my lunch.The rest of the day, I kept worrying about the manhood training. ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Aug. 1765 || 2. I'm a man now. No one can tell me what to do. I am a leader. Today, I shall move into my own hut. I have gone to visit my mother, but now, she cannot tell me what to do anymore. She is a woman, and I am a man. I walked into my hut. A nice golden color, it makes me so joyful! I dance around in my hut, and my grandmother comes to greet me. I can tell she does not understand what being a man means. She is still ordering me around and shouting at me to visit my mother and bring something for my little brother. I think of my little brother, and I try to imagine when he will become a man. I have decided that I shall bring him a drum! A fine drum, cut from a log in the forest. I go alone, into the tall bushes to find a log... ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Dec. 1767 || 3. ||
 * = Mr. Slater or Capt. Davies ||= Aug. 1767 || 4. I am on my way to Africa. This is my first time going to this foreign land. As I do not know many things about the bringing of slaves from Africa, I have relied on Mr. Slater to guide me. Some of the items that Mr. Slater needs for the bringing in of slaves has shaken me a bit. But not yet, have I doubted Captain Slater. Once, I went down to see the space where the slaves would be kept for the trip, and I was shocked. There was very very little space, but Mr. Slater gave me a big number of slaves that he said could fit. His logic didn't make any sense in my head, and neither did a picture of many many slaves cramped up in a small area like this one. But once again, Mr/ Slater has been on this trip eighteen more times than I have, which is zero. ||
 * = Mr. Slater or Capt. Davies ||= Dec. 1767 || 5. The load on me is really rough now that we have the slaves on board. I can tell you, they are a rough batch of n to handle with. In my eighteen trips, I think they've been the toughest. They've produced the most sh* so far and they've gave me the most hateful looks. One n* even escaped! I beat the watchman like hell, and thats when it happened. The goddamned filthy bastards started an uprise! Their first target was the man with the keys, they used the keys to get themselves free, and starting to hurt every single one of us, and beat us to a pulp. Some men were shooting, and I screamed at the top of my lungs to make them stop shooting. Don't get me wrong, I don't give a damn about those filthy n*, but no one will buy an injured one. Thats when it happened, one of the elder ones came rushing to me, and my first reaction was pulling out my gun! Then, I saw a knife flying at me, and I froze not knowing what to do. ||
 * = Sample(Kadi Touray) ||= Aug. 1765 || My family and I are still on our way to Kerewan but I'm not sure how much farther we still have to go. Luckily, we accidentally met a local villager named Kunte Kinte who told me that it's one day to Kerewan. The interesting thing is how we met this young man. He knocked Fanta over and spilled our water and knocked over our millet as he was chasing a bird for his manhood training. He obviously needs to learn to run faster because I easily caught up to him and dragged him back to apologize to Fanta for knocking her over. After he clumsily put our stuff back, he bid us farewell and took off again after his bird. I did notice that Fanta gave our visitor a strange look. Perhaps she has been struck by the love arrow. If we do meet Kunte Kinte again, I will make sure he is the right man for my beloved daughter. ||

Forced Migration/Relocation is the forced movement of people to other countries, usually slaves. An example in US history is in the 1830’s when the Choctaw people of the Southwest were relocated. Forced assimilation is when the culture of a group is lost and the group takes the culture of another dominant group by force. An example of that is during 1790-1920 when the US attempted to assimilate the Native Americans into European-American Culture. Cultural Genocide is the destruction of a cultural group. A good example of that is from 1490-1914 when many reasons (mostly disease) caused the decline of population of Native Americans when the Europeans set foot in the Americas. Manifest destiny is the American belief that America was supposed to expand over the whole continent. The Americans proved that they believed that strongly, by starting many wars like the war of Mexico.
