Latin America Cultural Change History
We will be taking a journalistic approach for Assignment 2. For this assignment assume the role of a journalist, or someone else writing a letter of the time covering national (and global) events throughout Latin America. From your perspective, you will be witness to a major event, theme, or historical figure(s), or multiple. Choose a time period in the chapters we have covered (say spanning no more than 10 years), and how do you as a reporter and witness to these events interpret the changes that are taking place. You are expected to discuss cultural changes and shifts happening throughout Latin America. Have they changed based on the information from the chapters?
How are notable people in history identifying with country, race, gender,
identity, etc. You will be graded on the number of details and the quality of the writing that
corresponds to answering the questions. Please be sure to incorporate at least 3 key terms (in
bold /underlined) from the chapter in your online discussion/Journal entry. Questions to keep
in mind as you write from a journalistic, perspective: Who are you and what paper would you
write for? Why are you writing this piece? Male or female? This Online Discussions allows you
to get creative, while at the same time answering the questions below, including your own
insight, and engaging with the chapter and Powerpoint. Continue to cite throughout your
reporting as you have done previously (Chasteen 36)
