Introduction: Ignorance! Ignorance is defined in The American Heritage Dictionary as “the condition of being uneducated, unaware, or uninformed. You may be uneducated, unaware, and uninformed! Do you realize that you’ve been exposed to American and Global history, yet you don’t actually study your culture’s history?! What a shame! It’s about time for you to know more about who you and your people are, where they’ve come from, and what is soon to come for your culture. Why is this important? Because our history affects our future. Without it, it’s nearly impossible to know who you really are!

 

 

 

 

Task: You will create one (1) poster board that answers all six questions from the Public Policy Analyst (PPA). You will also create 2 informative “Did You Know?” posters that consist of interesting facts, pictures, and graphics about Latino people and history. If you feel creatively and intellectually inclined, instead of 2  “Did You Know?” posters, you can create a 2-minute commercial (on Powerpoint or on video), that tells the audience about Latino people and history.
