Answer 1

1. Firstly, you'll want to research the (current, 2014) ethic composition of the entire student body at the high school. When you learn what the majority group is, then you will explain the difference between heritage and ethnicity, and how the two also go hand in hand. For example, "ethnic groups tend to be defined by a shared cultural heritage, ancestry, homeland, language (dialect), or even ideology, and manifests itself through symbolic systems such as religion, mythology and ritual, cuisine, dressing style, physical appearance, etc."

So, once you determine what the heritage of the largest ethnic group in Miami High School might look like, then you'll want to get into talking about when Miami started noticing an influx in the particular ethnic group (and by what percentage that number continued to grow in the years following), and what caused it to grow (i.e., immigration from Cuba, etc). Also, think about how a cultural heritage manifests itself through symbolic systems, as mentioned above. Through religion, myths of origin, cuisine, dressing style, and yes, physical appearance. I feel like you will need to determine and incorporate all these factors into your explanation of what the main heritage of that school is (in other words, give many examples proving how you came to determine the main heritage of the school).

Wiki: "Cultural heritage is the legacy of physical artifacts and intangible attributes of a group or society that are inherited from past generations, maintained in the present and bestowed for the benefit of future generations. Cultural heritage includes tangible culture (such as buildings, monuments, landscapes, books, works of art, and artifacts), intangible culture (such as folklore, traditions, language, and knowledge), and natural heritage (including culturally significant landscapes, and biodiversity)."
