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.

Prompt: Write about a time you felt connected to nature, like the kinship in Native American myths.

Prompt Response:  A time I felt connected to nature is when I am sitting in my car or someone else's. Listening to music really loud and peaceful songs. I love having my windows down and the air hitting me. Looking outside at everything like the sky, trees, cars and the clouds. My mind is thinking but it is way relaxed and it feels nice feeling so free and no have to worry about anything in that moment. Summary: Today in class we talked about the culture and literature of Native Americans. Reflection: Learning about Native Americans made me realized how much they care for nature and how connected they were. I would want to be closer to nature how they were.
