Exploring the Legacy of Colonialism in Latin America through Food, Dance and Literature
 * Group Name**

Carol Gersmehl and Girelle Guzman
 * Teacher Leader/s**

Colonialism in Latin America brought together people of European, African and Indigenous heritage. In this Rensizzle, we will study the food, dance and stories of the region to better understand how each culture contributed to the development of Latin America's cultural heritage and the power relationships that resulted from the colonial experience. Throughout the week, students will interview Latin American immigrants about their reflections on colonialism and culture. As a final project, the students will create an audio-visual presentation of these interviews and their overall Rensizzle experience.
