I now understand that it is key and it Biden's speech needed to be heard.  Same goes for Angela Gorman's poem, The Hill We Climb. Gorman's poem was dedicated to her childhood and troubles as a young black women in America. Her poem taught me that even if we have a million obstacles to get through, we can make it if we just push along.]]> 2021-06-17 16:01:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612575263 dmliborio1001_2 https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612587837 I think this lesson was very important in helping me understand the Latino/Chicano culture because Biden's inauguration was like a stretching hand who was there to help migrants from everywhere after the Trump administration worked hard to rid the States of as many immigrants as possible in horrible and inhumane ways. In addition to this, Amanda Gorman spoke to many in her poem not only to the black community but to all people of color.]]> 2021-06-17 16:07:42 UTC https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612587837 dmliborio1001_2 https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612596342 2021-06-17 16:11:55 UTC https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612596342 dmliborio1001_2 https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612599081 The 13th documentary allowed be to better understand discrimination and how it personally affects people's lives. The focus around Black History Month was not to be taken lightly and was, in my opinion, a great topic to cover as it taught me different perspectives and how the justice system serves more than it protects.  Aside from this, the analyzing of Donald Glover's song, This is America, was a great way to see how America hides away many impurities and acts of hatred against people of color in order to preserve its image.]]> 2021-06-17 16:13:17 UTC https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612599081 dmliborio1001_2 https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612610544 2021-06-17 16:18:26 UTC https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612610544 dmliborio1001_2 https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612611165 I don't think this assignment was key to help me understand the Latino/Chicano culture but I do think it was important to cover. I think it helped me connect better to the discrimination that people of color face as my own people go through it as well.]]> 2021-06-17 16:18:46 UTC https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612611165 dmliborio1001_2 https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612617835 Before reading the book, The Devil's Highway, I didn't know that many migrants crossed through such a huge and deadly desert. I knew they walked for hours but The Devil's Highway created such an imagery that allowed be to see more clearly the tragedies that many go through for the chance of a better life. I now know so much more about the desert that kills for fun, the sun who bakes people out of boredom, and the guias who kill others because of greed. I now know some of the people who received justice and were lured to their deaths.]]> 2021-06-17 16:22:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612617835 dmliborio1001_2 https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612630063 2021-06-17 16:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612630063 dmliborio1001_2 https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612631041 I whole heartedly believe that this assignment was important in helping me understand the Latino/Chicano culture. This assignment brought light to so many thing's I was blind to and I think many others would benefit from reading this novel.]]> 2021-06-17 16:28:20 UTC https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612631041 dmliborio1001_2 https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612634001 From this assignment, I learned that communities could write to Migrant kids who were separated from their families at the border. Reading from the immigrant experiences like the photo essay we looked at also helped me learn that many women carry their children for miles and miles and risk their lives to save their lives. The boat wreck in San Diego that we looked at helped me learn that some people travel by boat. That is something that I did not know at all and was very surprising to me.]]> 2021-06-17 16:29:47 UTC https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612634001 dmliborio1001_2 https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612643481 I think this topic and assignments helped me better understand the Latino/Chicano culture. They were important and taught me many things that I never would have thought of. I mostly believed that the detained kids would be cut off from any contact with anyone outside so it was a little surprising seeing that they were asking communities for letters for the kids and I really liked that.]]> 2021-06-17 16:34:38 UTC https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612643481 dmliborio1001_2 https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612646477 The Latin American Poetry unit taught me so much about the poets we looked into. I had knowledge about poets such as Pablo Neruda and Jose Marti but I had no idea that Neruda was very intertwined with the women he loved. I learned that he left his wife for another woman and then left that women for her niece. While I loved his works, I think that disturbed me a little.]]> 2021-06-17 16:36:20 UTC https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612646477 dmliborio1001_2 https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612651988 I think this unit was pretty important in understanding the Latino culture. It was not very connected to Chicano culture as that came much later but I do think that they both played very important roles in forwarding many to become proud of their origins.]]> 2021-06-17 16:39:15 UTC https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612651988 dmliborio1001_2 https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612655112 The unit in which we wrote our own poems was very nice.  I loved it and before we did it, I didn't know that I could write poems on my own. I have trouble writing the song version but I think it was a little fun. I fell in love with free verse and I didn't have much knowledge of that style before and while it isn't traditional, I think it is beautiful and can be used to create amazing poems.]]> 2021-06-17 16:40:51 UTC https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612655112 dmliborio1001_2 https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612659978 I don't think this assignment was important to help me understand Latino/Chicano culture as much as others but it did allow me to see why poets like Neruda and Marti wrote. I know see that it was one of the only ways they could speak their minds and share with the world how they felt.]]> 2021-06-17 16:43:26 UTC https://padlet.com/dmliborio1001_2/3wj7hl7h5ipqi73x/wish/1612659978
