Challenge 3

Read the book Weslandia by Paul Fleischman. It's about a boy who creates his own world.

If you created your own world, what would it be like? Write about it. Add visuals if you'd like!

Challenge 4

Explore music and dance from West Africa! Check out the videos, and play/dance along. After dancing (or watching), cool down by reflecting on your experience.

What are some of the special characteristics of West African drums? What kind of movement is special to African dance?

Take some time to write down special characteristics you noticed.
