Island Life & Culture
Name: Jamelia Barrett
Mentor/Advisor: Mr. Herman
My Capstone island life and culture.
My capstone entails the history of two Caribbean island and a multicultural food fest. In the beginning of the school year I knew I wanted to do something with history and culture. I was originally want to do my own history and culture. I got advise from my mentor Mr. Herman and I decided to broaden my search and add another island. I have created a website that hold all the research I did for the two Caribbean islands . As for the Multicultural food fest I partnered up with a fellow classmate since our capstone topic was along the same line and we did a event. Food is what brings us together sometime. So what better was to share a piece of history and culture with the SLA community. We show cased many different cultural dishes . This was learning experienced for me. I saw some of the dishes that were basically the same as my own cultural dishes but cooked differently . This the same for the history of most of the Caribbean islands. They all had some things in common like Columbus stumbling up on the island and saying he discovered it when obviously there was indigenous people like Tanios were living there long before he arrived. The countries being apart of the caricom community. Music as well , reggae-ton is formed from reggae. I can now come to the conclusion that our history and culture crosses part whether its in big way such as being colonized by Spaniard or Britain or small way such as music and food.
