Specific Instructions

You are to become the character described below. Please know the information about yourself- get into character enough- so that you can mingle with the other characters and share the valuable information. Note: your classmates are depending on you, and only you, for information about this character. You will not be able to read/refer to the information once the party begins.

Kabonyi

I converted to Christianity. I see Waiyaki as a boy with silly ideas. I broke away from tradition and then changed my mind. I want my son to be a leader more than anything. I am jealous of Waiyaki and the respect he receives from our people. I want that respect. I will rid my tribe of the white man’s ways and restore the purity of wisdom from our old ways.


2. Name tag

Please make a name tag that you will wear during the party and turn in afterward. The tag must include your character’s name written clearly and must have a symbol or drawing that represents the character. Bonus points will be awarded if the tag is exceptionally well done.

3. Brief Prediction

As your character, answer the following question on the back of your name tag in a sentence or two-MAX!

Q: You want your son to become the next leader of the tribe. Would you go so far as to commit violence to make this happen?
