Return to Cry, the Beloved Country



**Research Project for //Cry, the Beloved Country//**

=
You and one or two other partners (NO MORE THAN THREE IN A GROUP!) will work together to learn more about the culture of the novel //Cry, the Beloved Country//. You will spend the next five class days (and time outside of class) researching and compiling a presentation to be shared with your peers about what you've learned AND how what you've learned relates to the culture of South Africa. The most important component of this project is an explanation of how your chosen topic relates to South Africa. It is imperative that the bulk of your presentation and paper is an analysis of this connection.======

=
Your project will be a 7-10 minute presentation (using Google Presentation ONLY - NOT PowerPoint) about the topic and your analysis of the connection between your topic and South Africa AND a 1-2 page write up of the content of your presentation (in essay form). Additionally, you must complete a [|Website Analysis Checklist] for each of your cited websites or other sources (3-5 sources!), and include a Works Cited page in correct MLA format.
