Your Task:
You are going to become a journalist and report on "hidden" history of which our society may not be aware. You will research the events and cultures mentioned in Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah or Facing the Lion: Growing Up Maasai by Joseph Lekuton. You will learn about cultures uniquely different and yet markedly similar to our own. You will learn what it is like to grow up as an unwanted child of a wealthy Chinese family and what it is like to live as a nomad on the African Savannah. The characters in these two novels face challenges from Communism to encountering wild lions and learn that success has many meanings and that family and love are universal.
After conducting your research and evaluating the sources on your chosen webquest sites, you will design either a newspaper, webpage, or television report to showcase your findings on one of the events you have researched.
