We were introduced to the structure of poems today. It was most definitely some things I’ve never heard of before. Overall, I can say it isn’t my strongest point as of right now ,but I am willing to work more with it and do better.
We started class with begging given 3 different pieces of paper. All of them were different and I already had a bad feeling. One was a poem one was questions and another was a project! We have been assigned to act out a Maya Angelou poem, write a one page paper about it and do a poster. The hardest part of this for me will define fly be memorizing and acting out the poem. It puts me out of my comfort zone and I am scared I will stumble on my words. The project will be due in about two weeks I hope everything goes well.
Today I, once again, missed Mr.Rease’s class today. The National Honor Society program was today and still going on during his class time. I was nervous at first because I felt like everyone was not fully prepared.Although I felt this, everything went extremely well and I was exhausted after the whole ordeal oblong with my feet. I spent a lot of time napping the rest of the day.
Just as we have been lately we went over more poems. Today was different because they were not only Maya Angelou but also Langston Hughes. The poems were interesting because they were the opposite of one another. One was mother to son and the other was son to mother. That is an interesting top pic overall because mother and son relationships tend to be problematic in society. I really have been enjoying the analysis of poems very much especially what we did today. Class ended with us answering a few questions and watching videos of poetry out loud. This is to prepare us for our upcoming presentations next week of our own poems.
