Lesson Description:

(Consider the information that you have about the significant places in Africville and the things that they do not have that we do).Yes? No? You will collect the information by taking a tally of your friend's answers. A tally is when you put a line in the box for your friend's answers. If you have 5 lines, you should have 4 vertical lines and1 diagonal line running across. When the music begins, you will take your sheet and move around the room. When the music stops, you will find someone in the class close to you and each of you will take turns asking each other the question and making a tally mark in the appropriate box. The music will begin again and you will move and interview more of your peers.
