    Nice simple post. It flows really well. I liked how you mentioned food being important in many ways. Food is always a great way to connect with and also the dead I guess. The concept of offering food to the dead even though food is expensive and valuable really shows a lot about their respect for the died. Great job!

Presentations without an audience make no sense. For those who still have presentations to complete, there are new parameters geared to our newly online classroom. Most importantly, this assignment is no longer a presentation .  A few things about the assignment will remain the same: 1.       Your grade is still individual 2.       You are not required to work as a group [1] 3.       Focus on one aspect/section of the reading and build on it with your own research 4.       It should include relevant visual elements 5.       It should be shared with your classmates So, what is the assignment now? Good news! You have options! Option 1: Write an online-style article Think about the kinds of posts you read online. They are informative without using too many words. Plan on having 5 sections with obvious sub-headings  (see how I’ve been modeling this here?)  and at least one relevant image for each section.   Mark Nichol offers excellent tips

Spirituality in Haitian Vodou
