This week, we focus on the Black Experience in Latin America. First, read the article, “The African Presence in Latin America.” 1) Discuss the Maroon Community in Ecuador. Who were the Maroons and what were their contributions?; 2) Review the Afro-Mexico: Black History in Mexico video. What did you learn that you did not know?; 3) Read the story of Audre Lorde. Where did she study in Mexico, and how do you think her experiences studying abroad in Mexico informed her work? 5) How might all this “new” Black Consciousness from this week’s readings/videos influence a student who is planning to study abroad in “Latin” America?

Case Study
Please read the case study on page 31 of your text and answer  questions thoughtfully. Please use one scholarly source to support your  answers.
Justin is an eight-year-old Vietnamese boy who was adopted by his Caucasian parents when he was only three months old. His two older siblings had been born into the family before he was chosen. The sib-lings are both boys, much larger than Justin, and both involved in school sports. Justin wants to follow in their footsteps but fi nds it diffi cult to match their success. In his after-school program, Justin loves to paint and creates some beautiful watercolor paintings that his caregiver dis-plays on the bulletin board. However, Justin still longs to join in when the other children are playing baseball. He is usually the last one to be chosen for a team and is booed or called names when he strikes out. When this happens, he goes back to the bench and appears to be strug-gling to keep from crying. He doesn’t cry, but is reluctant to try again when it is his turn at bat. 
 1.  What do you think are the causes of Justin’s lack of confi dence in his own abilities? What are some things his caregiver can do to help him feel better about himself?  
2.  Are there ways his family can help? 
 3.  What group games could caregivers facilitate that would encour-age teamwork and ultimately help Justin feel a valued part of the team

q1
 Razae is 12 months old and has been placed in foster care since he was four months old. He was prenatally exposed to drugs and was placed in foster care because of domestic violence in the home. Emma and Andrew are the young couple who are providing foster care for the first time. Razae is a very sweet, rambunctious boy who enjoys music and movement. He’s also a great sleeper. Razae has learned how to walk, makes a variety of sounds, and is imitating others’ language  consistently. Based on developmental delays in several domains, Razae qualified for and is receiving home-based early intervention services. He was slow to attach to his foster parents but is now bonding through play and  enjoying skin to skin contact and other attachment-based activities. These are areas that were goals in Razae’s  Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP). He is thriving in this placement. Razae still visits his  maternal grandmother and there is talk of placing him with her in the future. What steps can you take to  support Rasae and his foster parents in the classroom? Be specific about  how you can be involved n supporting goals established through his  IFSP. Discuss with peers.

Case Study
Nine-year-old Ian is often called names by some of the other children. They refer to him as “Tubby,” “Fatso,” or “Lardo.” He gets very angry and starts hitting, although sometimes he ends up crying in frustra-tion. His caregiver has noticed that he seems to have an ample supply of snacks that he carries in his backpack—often chips and candy bars. He wants to have those for snack time rather than the food provided by the center. When his request is refused, he stomps away from the table and refuses to eat anything. Occasionally, he is seen sneaking food from his locker.  
1.  How would you respond when Ian stomps away from the table? 
 2.  What can you say to his parents? 
 3.  What can you do to help Ian change his eating pattern at child care?
