Choose one moment from the film that stood out to you and explain why. Then, connect the film’s message to Langston Hughes’ poem “I, Too” and to the mask you are creating in class. What part of your identity do you want your mask to reveal?

 Prompt Response: The part where a part of her mask broke and she started to panic. The poem explains in words how there were different experiences for people because of how they looked and felt while the video showed it visually. I want to reveal that I am not afraid to speak my mind and do things the right way instead of staying quiet and doing the wrong.

Summary: We watched a video about the girl with the mask. We then continued to work on masks and turned them in if we were done.

Reflection: The video made me realize that its okay to be different and to not be afraid to show ourselves and be brave.
