HW: Write a poem a day! 23

     After we all write down our agendas and Daisy reads her blog, Ms. Nakada shows us a poem titled "miss rosie" by Lucille Clifton. It seems to be about an old woman who has lost her charm. We do a call of words and write a poem. Quinn, Jacqueline, Omune, Sparky, Saad, and Ma Kaiia read their poem out loud.
     We read another poem by Lucille Clifton called "wishes for sons". It is about how she wishes for her sons to go through the same struggle that girls go through. None of the i's were capitalized. After talking about Lucille Clifton's aesthetic, We all get some time to write our own response poem to "wishes to sons", and Ms. Nakada says she expects many of us to incorporate "the last tampon" in our poem because we read it out loud with her.
     The bell just rang and tomorrow we are going over grades. Next week we will be testing!
