I'm giving a presentation on rastafari (both culture and religion) and I need to make it as creative and interesting as possible! Other than dressing up like one, do you have any ideas that could make it cool?
It spoth an oral, and written assignment. For the written part I'm thinking of making a poster instead of just handing in a bunch of papers stapled together. But I have nothing cool in mind for the oral part - any ideas are appreciated.
Additional info, added Monday February 18 2008, 9:44 am: **it's both
haha, sorry :P. Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category? Maybe give some free advice about: School? Ignatz answered Tuesday February 19 2008, 10:24 am: I wouldn't recommend speaking in faux-Jamaican patois, as it is easy to do poorly and will just make you look silly. I'd emphasize the connections between the Rasta movement and Ethiopian independence from Italy, and bring in pictures of Haile Selassie (aka Ras Tafari), then relate Rasta to other Black Power movements and leaders (Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Nation of Islam, Black Panthers, etc.) As you no doubt know, Rasta isn't all reggae, ganja and dreadlocks. It's about living a clean life, being proud of your heritage, and fighting for justice.
