This past week we focused a lot on poems. For me poems are not my strong suit. I know what I want to say but I don’t know how to put them in words that sound good together. We wrote the “Where I’m From” poem and over all I was fairly impressed on how my poem sounded when I read it through. I was a little nervous to read it to the entire class but after hearing other classmates it was a lot easier. We also set up the blog and wrote the “As a Reader/ As a Writer” Biography and as I really thought about the questions and how to answer them it really revealed a lot of things I have forgotten over the years. I realized how much I have stopped reading and writing over the years and that is something I use to love to do. Reading is so relaxing if you can find a good book you are interested in. I just stopped trying which is very sad. I believe as high school students we need poetry. We are only a week into the trimester and I have already have started reading a lot more. I have finished one book and have started another. I am also very interested in my creative writing I have started for the class. I am excited to see what the rest of this trimester has in store for us.

This week we started talking about identity. We thought about what identity was to us. There are many aspects to your identity, some that you can see and some that you can’t. We also learned how to take notes. I’m am very interested in the book I just started, and am super excited to be reading and writing again. The book I just finished was about poetry and Mr. Schoenborn reads a poem every day and it really has inspired me to start writing my own poetry. I haven’t wrote any yet, but I want to start doing it, it’s such a great way to express your feelings. I like the way we were showed to take notes because it makes it a lot easier to go back and read through them. It was a little confusing at first but after it being explained it was easy to get started. The notes are really going to be helpful with the following projects and make taking notes in every other class so much easier. With identity there's a lot to learn from it. Identity isn’t just what we see on the outside of others. It also families traditions, and other things that we sometimes can’t see. I learned from the video that I watched that some people are very uncomfortable with their identity and wish they could change it. Many people want to change their identity. The video I watched was about Latinos. They are uncomfortable with their identity. A lot of people think they aren’t latinos just because they have lighter skin or big hair. But they should really express their identity because it is very unique and beautiful. |
