Week 14 Question

NaPoWriMo - Day 21

HW: Read and write a poem a day

I walked into the class, greeting Ms. Nakada and wrote the binder. George read his blog and chose me, so I went to go write the Blog. After I sat down, I wrote down what I missed yesterday, and then Demetrius came to help me with the blog.

Then, Kaiden passed my the Chromebook and told me to write, Ms. Nakada was discussing about the battle of Gettysburg. Shortly after, we started reading the poem called "Battlegrounds" by Xochiti-Julisa Bermejo.

Ms. Nakada moved onto the poem, and we discussed what the poet wrote, learning what a Chicana is which is a word for Mexican American Women. Ms. Nakada went over more about the poem and the true meanings of it.  We transitioned into another poem called- "Just As the Calendar Begins to Say Summer"- by Mary Oliver. Ms. Nakada read the poem and then asked if we can read it again. A few students read over it and we talked about what the poem is about. 

Then, we transitioned over to writing our own poems and Ms. Nakada announced that she will check how many poems read and poems written.
