Today is our sixth day in Jamaica. Today was very exciting and fun. We finally began to film our documentary. We made our interviews, we made up questions and the Yallahs students did the same, as well. My group in particular is focusing on the language of Patois and how it is very similar to American slang. My group consists of Janee, two other Yallahs students and myself. I really enjoyed the part when we gave them a slang line that we use in America and taught them how to say it, and then they translated it into Patois and they taught us to say it.
Then we had a speaker come and speak with us. She basically gave us a little background of Jamaica’s music and dance. We gathered some really good information that we can use in our documentary. I am enjoying the beginning of making our documentary; I can't wait until we put everything together and we see how all our hard work pays off.
