Reanne's African Lit. Blog: Ancestor Stones 1
http://reanneaa.blogspot.com/2008/10/ancestor-stones-1.html
Tuesday, October 28, 2008. I find myself wondering why the book is titled Ancestor Stones,. The stones represent the lives of women ancestors, just as the novel is a collection of their stories. At least that is how I am seeing the ancestor stones. November 11, 2008 at 1:35 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Reanne's African Lit. Blog. The Effects of Colonization in Africa.

Back to Africa: December 2008
http://backwithallenwebb.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 8, 2008. I made a Unit Plan for the final project because I teach, simple as that. I like making Unit Plans now, as compared to in the past because I know what has or can work in a classroom. Amazingly 9th grade students possess empathy and are caring when it comes to autrocoties, or at the very least they can fake it well enough to trick me. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Learning About Africa: 2008-11-16
http://kristintuinier.blogspot.com/2008_11_16_archive.html
Tuesday, November 18, 2008. I was hooked on. Right away. I had been warned that it was told through two different narrators. However, that is the part of the book that I really like. Having the story of Johnny/Matiti Mabe alongside Laokole is really great. One thing that I didn't catch right away was that Laokole is a girl. I didn't realize that until she was talking about the things she was planning to bring with them on the exile from their home because of the soldiers invading for the looting.

http://reanneaa.blogspot.com/2008/10/ancestor-stones-2.html
Tuesday, October 28, 2008. Thinking about Ancestor Stones. And all of Africa after the colonizers left made me think of the film Diner de Cons. They know what's best? They often end up causing unwanted affects and sometimes even wars. In trying to make the situation better, they end up making it worse. Everything we have read thus far, especially Ancestor Stones,.

Thursday, December 11, 2008. I decided to save trees and post my curriculum on a website. It can be found here. Everything about my course, including the goals and course description, can be found on this website. Everything I could possibly write in this blog would just be a repeat of what is on the site. So go ahead, take a look, and let me know what you think! Monday, December 1, 2008. The Education of Africa. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Reanne's African Lit. Blog. The Education of Africa.

Reanne's African Lit. Blog: Problems in Africa
http://reanneaa.blogspot.com/2008/11/problems-in-africa.html
Sunday, November 16, 2008. 8220;Bleeding of the Stone” was certainly an interesting book, but I was unsure about it at first. It didn’t seem to have direct correlation with political events and Africa as a whole as did the other books we read. It seemed to focus only on this select group of people and their relationships with one another. 8220;Bleeding of the Stone” showed the fragile nature of the Africans in post-colonial Africa, as well as their fragile relationships with each other.
