Research Proposal Presentations:

Things that work/ Did not work about the presentations:   

Person 1

• For one of the people that presented the research proposal they kept reading straight off the board. Also instead of standing up straight and making eye contact this particular person just sat down on the professors chair and read straight off the board.
• What did work for this particular person was that all their facts were interesting and true. 
• This person did good research.  

Person 2

Here is a video of Guadeloupe's as a beautiful island and if you're here visiting what to do. The island has beautiful clear waters. You can see all the beautiful colors that the island contains. 

Guadeloupe's struggle: 

• Here is the strike that took place in 2009. 
• The people of Guadeloupe riot out on the French departments who control the way they live. 
• The people of guadeloupe are upset of low minimum wages and high life styles 

The people are tired of living the way they are in guadeloupe. Which is barely making it because of their low minimum wages. 

Guadeloupe's highlights

Guadeloupe Highlights:

• The highlights of Guadeloupe is how the island guadeloupe was called Karukera before Christopher columbus came and gave it the new name "Guadeloupe". 

• Guadeloupe replies on tourism and agriculture.

• It often seems to rain and have a lot of hurricanes. 

• One of guadeloupe's famous athletes is Stephane Zubar. He's a footballer in guadeloupe and plays defender in a premier league 

• He was born October 9.1989. So he's 29 years old right now. 

 

Next research: 

What I plan to research next on Guadeloupe is how France's involvement affected the culture and people of Guadeloupe in a good or bad way. How does France take advantage of Guadeloupe is they have Guadeloupe under their wing.

Challenges: 

• One of the challenges I'll face with this project is that I know absolutely nothing about Guadeloupe. 

• Another way this project will challenging is that I've never really heard about anything interesting about the island Guadeloupe. 

CULTURE/ FOOD

HISTORY 

Christopher Columbus was the person who found Guadeloupe. Before he found Guadeloupe and gave it the name it has today, it was once called Karukera. France shaped Guadeloupe to be what it is today.

 In 1981Guadeloupe got its independence. The islands of Martinique, French Guyana and Guadeloupe have formed an alliance under the Declaration de Basse-Terre.

 

NOW

Guadeloupe’s economy depends on agriculture and tourism. Lately Guadeloupe often seems to have hurricanes and a lot of rain.

CULTURE:

In Guadeloupe they have a parade to bring the French Caribbean’s closer to their African roots. This carnival is celebrated in January, February, and March. Throughout the carnival they have multiple dances and they wear costumes like image

The women from Guadeloupe dress with skirts and a grass shirt or dresses and a lot of jewelry. Their clothing was inspired by the catholic church. Over the years like many other cultures the clothing for the woman become shorter and shorter. The men over there wear hats made from straws to protect them from the sun. The way they dress is very casual.

FOOD

         

Guadeloupe is known for the most delicious foods from the Caribbean. Guadeloupe specializes in in French Creole. Food reveals Amerindian, African, East Indian, and French cultural influences. Traditional foods include manioc flour, root crops, breadfruit, avocado, green bananas, peas and beans, okra, curried meats, salted codfish, fish, and tropical fruits. 

 Creole cooking uses hot peppers and spices but has been influenced by French cooking and imported foodstuffs. Guadeloupe isn’t the only islands that eats “green bananas”. Dominican Republic also eats green bananas. Rum also plays a big part in Guadeloupe’s food. A lot of Guadeloupe’s foods are from France. For example, the lobster profiteroles, to rack of lamb, red snapper, and pork medallions. Herbs such as thyme and a variety of cream sauces are used with flavorful results.
