REFLECTIONS ON GHANA

Here is your assignment for today since I won't be there with you.

I did a presentation Wednesday for you all about my three trips to Ghana. I hope you enjoyed it and learned something about one of my favorite countries. So today I thought it would be a good time to reflect on my presentation by doing a Ghana Quest. Write your answers on a piece of paper and give it to the substitute teacher or type the answers in Word and email them to me at lhewett1@yahoo.com. Good luck.

While in Ghana I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Mr. Ablade Glover, Ghana's most famous artist. He was a gentleman and very talented. For your last question I want you to click on the link below. When you do you'll see a photo of Mr. Glover and lots of his paintings. Choose the one painting that you like the best, write its title and tell me why you like it so much. I'll need three or four sentences for your answer.
