You might think about personal experiences, summer reading to jump start your thoughts! en-us 2020-09-01 18:08:59 UTC 2025-10-27 17:17:31 UTC hello@padlet.com jtmckinnell https://padlet.com/cwgreen2/cviqvs2snu3ev7nu/wish/712777109 Already know - I have been to the Caribbean a few times, the Bahamas and Anguilla specifically, so I know a bit about them. I know about some of the European colonization that occurred in the Caribbean too. I also learned about Haiti and their slave revolution in AP World sophomore year. 

Questions - How is Antigua doing today? Have they eliminated corruption and improved their society? What are the successful Caribbean countries doing differently?]]> 2020-09-01 18:12:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cwgreen2/cviqvs2snu3ev7nu/wish/712777109 mgwhitehouse1_1 https://padlet.com/cwgreen2/cviqvs2snu3ev7nu/wish/712779391 I previously knew that the Caribbean was conquered by the British.
I have been to Jamaica, Dominican Republic.
I would like to learn more about the culture.]]> 2020-09-01 18:13:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cwgreen2/cviqvs2snu3ev7nu/wish/712779391 dighine2_1 https://padlet.com/cwgreen2/cviqvs2snu3ev7nu/wish/712779648 I do not have any previous knowledge about any of the islands on the Caribbean, nor have I ever visited. However, I have watched all the movies of the Pirates of the Caribbean. I am interested to learn more about the subject.]]> 2020-09-01 18:13:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cwgreen2/cviqvs2snu3ev7nu/wish/712779648 https://padlet.com/cwgreen2/cviqvs2snu3ev7nu/wish/712779830 I have vacationed in Aruba and Turks and Caicos before so all I really know about the Caribbean is from my experience there. Other than general knowledge about the islands and the environment I don't know much about the history. I learned a lot more when doing the summer reading that I had not before and it was interesting seeing the view point of someone who isn't a tourist. ]]> 2020-09-01 18:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cwgreen2/cviqvs2snu3ev7nu/wish/712779830 https://padlet.com/cwgreen2/cviqvs2snu3ev7nu/wish/712780010 My grandmother is from the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico and I have a lot of family there on my mom's side. I have also visited my uncle in the Dominican Republic, specifically Punta Cana. I know the British conquered it and only recently, the past 100 years or so, have the islands all became free of British rule.]]> 2020-09-01 18:13:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cwgreen2/cviqvs2snu3ev7nu/wish/712780010 jhspector https://padlet.com/cwgreen2/cviqvs2snu3ev7nu/wish/712780156 I already know about colonizing from history and from the summer reading. I've also visited multiple islands.

I know that there’s different views amongst Caribbean population on British colonization. ]]> 2020-09-01 18:15:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cwgreen2/cviqvs2snu3ev7nu/wish/712788092 https://padlet.com/cwgreen2/cviqvs2snu3ev7nu/wish/712789217 I don't know too much but have visited the Caribbean and have seen a little bit that was hinted at in the book we read. I am curious about the life outside of a touristic view. ]]> 2020-09-01 18:15:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cwgreen2/cviqvs2snu3ev7nu/wish/712789217 https://padlet.com/cwgreen2/cviqvs2snu3ev7nu/wish/712796744 I would say that I know a good amount about the Caribbean because one of my best friends is Jamaican. I know a lot about their food and culture. I am curios about the literature though. One thing I will say is the book had me feeling some type of way]]> 2020-09-01 18:17:37 UTC https://padlet.com/cwgreen2/cviqvs2snu3ev7nu/wish/712796744
