Asante Market Woman Film (52 min) + Assignment

For this assignment, you need to watch an ethnographic film and answer questions about it. Though I'm using the "quiz" feature in Canvas for this, it is not a quiz. This assignment will be graded based on participation and completion, not on whether or not your answers are "correct."

Step 1: Watch the Film

Asante Market Women (52 min)

Step 2: Write your answers to the following questions.

Please use complete sentences, though some answers will only be a single sentence. 

1. How is the role of women in the market different from their role in the home?
2. What do you notice about how the market is organized? - What groups are there? Who makes decisions? How do leaders maintain their position?
3. How do Asante men explain polygamy?
4. What do Asante women have to say about polygamy?
5. Please share any other thoughts you have about the film.

STEP 3: Submit your Answers

Submit your answers by clicking the blue, "Take The Quiz" button below and copying your answers into box. Although I am using the quiz feature for this, it is not a quiz. This is just an assignment. Do your best, but I'm not grading you on getting the right answer; you will be graded based on your sincere attempt to answer the questions and showing that you have watched the film, even if you didn't understand all of it.

Please get in touch if you have any issues submitting your answers. 

STEP 4: Check Answers

After you submit your answers, click on Attempt 1 in the Attempt History. You should be able to see information from me for each question. This information is meant to help you affirm that you were on the right track in understanding what the article was saying and the anthropological perspective or, if not, fill gaps in your understanding. You will only be able to see the answers once, so take any notes that you want to. 

Please let me know if you have any problems viewing the answers.
