In “I, Too,” the speaker expresses pride in his identity and his rightful place in America. Reflect on your own life: What aspect of your cultural identity are you most proud of, and why?

 Prompt: I'm proud to be Mexican because we are hard workers, we don't give up, even when people judge us for being different. They think since we are Mexican we are dumb, dirty, etc. But I would say that we aren't dumb or dirty we are all smart in our own ways. We get dirty because we work hard and never give up no matter the circumstances. People judge without trying to imagine what my people go through everyday. So that's why i'm proud to be Mexican. 

Summary: Today in class we read and annotated the poem "I, Too" and started on our mask that describes us.

Reflection: Today in class I learned about the poem "I, Too."

Which aspect of creating a poem do you enjoy the most? Tell what it is and explain why

 Prompt: An aspect that I enjoy the most when creating a poem would be of love. I choose it because it sometimes can be the easiest. But i also enjoy writing about love because i myself have had personal experiences as well. Even though i like writing about love or relationship wise i also like to write about other stuff when i want to try something different. Like in this case instead of love when writing my poem i choose to write about dreams. Which is something different then what i usually do.  Summary:  Today in class we started to create our own poems to share with the class.  Reflection  Today in class i learned the requirements needed for the creation of our poem.

You are currently working on a soundtrack for selected Emily Dickinson poems. With that in mind, if asked to choose a song to describe your life right now, which song would you select and why?

 Prompt: A song that I would choose to describe my life would be falling behind by Laufey. I would choose that song because I feel like I can relate to the song a lot. I say that because even if I told everyone I'm not interested in anyone right now I would feel very lonely because I don't really have one really. Like when in the song it mentions, "everyone is falling in love but I'm falling behind." I feel like I can really relate to that part of the song the most.  Summary: Today in class we took the test on Emily Dickinson poetry and finish our song soundtrack.  Reflection: Today in class I learned that I got a 63 on my test today.
