The Reconquest and Spoken Word

by Matt Johnson

There was a moment that happened fairly early on this trip that will stick with me for the rest of the trip. As a group of four, a few of us had to present on the Reconquest of Chile. The Reconquest was what occurred between Spain and Chile when Chile was vying for their independence.

Basically, it was a fight similar to that of the British and those who were soon to become the new Americans. However, for this project, my group decided it would be a good idea to do a spoken word routine to complete the part of the assignment that says "make sure the rest of your classmates can remember why your part is relevant." If you haven't heard spoken word, go look it up on YouTube. At the same time, we did interpretive dancing. You probably do not need to look that up on YouTube. From this silly exercise I will never forget the names of Ferdinand VII, Captain Vicente San Bruno, or Manuel Rodríguez.
