African Arts Week

We are studying Africa this year, with a focus on West Africa. One week in December was African Arts Week. There were four classes: drumming and dancing, journalism, African proverbs, and Mbira (thumb piano from Zimbabwe). Each group met in each workshop three times and spent one full day as journalists.
