Review your final draft of the chosen Significant Writing Project as you prepare to write a section of your statement entitled, Learning Outcome 2. In that section, explain the ways you used sources as evidence in the paper, including at least one specific example that demonstrates your ability to select, integrate, and explain quotations (about 200-450 words). You will likely draw from the ways your class has discussed the practice of integrating your ideas with others. Revisit your early efforts at integrating your ideas with evidence to help you think (and write) about your development.

In Vhavenda Africa music and art is seen as cultural capital and is highly valued. Children learn about their culture through music and dance in school and at home.

 Music addresses many issues not just being happy or sad but it can tackle topics of religion or even larger social issues like political stances and war. It’s said that when you go to a concert you feel like your at home, because everyone is singing the same song as you. Going to concerts and using music as a form of expression is especially important for teenagers.  Emberly and Davhula (2016) wrote about the power of music and expression especially in young children. They found that, “Music is one such avenue that children and young people employ to voice, to connect, and to shape their own distinct and diverse cultures of childhood. This expressive space has often been overlooked in the dominant adult discourse”(para. 2). Music is a way for kids to deal with emotions or situations that seem bigger than them and know that they aren’t alone.
