History – Grade 7 CAL 2 Assessment task The assessment = 20% of CAL 2 for History. The deadline is the lesson: 8TH February (7a and b) and 11th of February (7c). Good luck and please remember to ask for help if you are unsure. As you may see, a diary can not be written with only one date on it. Your diary must include the date that you were captured, somewhere around the beginning of slavery in Africa by Europeans: the year 1440. Or you can stick to the fact that slavery stopped in 1865 and you are on the plantation. (**Remember there are 425 years in between this dates**) You should structure your ideas first in order to optimize your time during the lesson to fulfill the task. Good luck!
 * __ THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO BE AWARE OF IS THAT YOUR WORK MUST BE HAND WRITTEN DURING ONE LESSON UNDER EXAM CONDITIONS. __**

 * 1. Your diary is written in the plantation as you have already been sold to someone in the Americas.
 * 2. Your diary must contain the following parts to get higher marks:
 * ** Capture in Africa, make sure you write which village or kingdom you come from, about your family, your age and your job. Also include the description of how they captured you. **

This is the most important part where you have to write as much detail as you can about what you are going through. REMEMBER TO EMPATHISE with your character´s diary. (feel, see, touch, smell, hear) **
 * ** Auction. Should include the moment you are taken out of the ship and are auctioned until you are again in the plantation writing your diary. **

Yoruba: The oral history of the Yoruba describes an origin myth, which tells of God lowering a chain at Ile-Ife, down which came Oduduwa, the ancestor of all people, bringing with him a cock, some earth, and a palm kernel. he Yoruba were primarily farmers, growing cocoa and yams as cash crops. These are planted in a three-year rotational system, alternating with cassava and a year of diverse crops including maize, peanuts, cotton, and beans.The Yoruba claim that they have 401 deities; in truth, there are more than these. The complexity of their cosmology has led Western scholars to compare them to the Ancient Greeks and their impressive pantheon. Yoruba deities are known as orisha, and the high god is Olorun. -Elena Avenda ño
