The framework that strikes me the most is framework 6 Cultural meaning making. I like that students are becoming familiar with music, art and culture from all Africa. They get to understand other people's world and appreciate it.
I also want to add and reflect about my curriculum because this framework seems far more acceptable in varies way as it touches multiple subjects. My framework should also offer an opportunity to learn about different places in North America. Except it mostly teaches the history of the state we live in.

The Knarrative framework centers Africa by engaging students to answer and investigate questions that give you the realization of the major impact of Africa. The one framework that I was compelled by is Framework 5 Movement and Memory because it engages students to research and learn about how Africans were able to retain their memories and continue to share with the modern world.
Furthermore, to reflect, compared to my district's curriculum, this framework focuses on applying this information to varied cultures. It allows students to engage in hands-on activities to answer deeper meaning questions. Unlike my curriculum, which focuses more on learning the country and state we live in. I believe that it is important to have better African studies engagement in our school curriculum.
