Assignment prompt

Title: Your Soul Journey learning pact

Instructions: Write a short pact (150–300 words) that you will keep beside this course. Address yourself in the first person. Include all of the following:

  1. Dignity-first norms — How you will speak about Temne people, elders, and communities (no stereotypes; no extractive “culture tourism”).
  2. Accuracy clause — A clear promise not to invent origin myths, chiefs’ names, or Temne words you have not verified. State that you will check sources before posting or teaching others.
  3. Listening clause — How you will seek consent before recording or sharing family stories.
  4. Practice clause — One weekly habit for language or culture learning (even if imperfect).
  5. Unity clause — One way you will contribute to Temne unity this month (call, join, help, translate, host, donate with transparency, etc.).

Submission: Paste into the Tutor LMS assignment field (or upload a PDF). Optional: share a shortened version with the cohort if you wish.

Assessment note for admin: Pass / complete when all five clauses are present and tone is respectful. No grade for “fluency”—this is a commitment document.
