The video is called "Reflecting Our World with David Bowles | Shake Up Your Shelves." As you listen to the video, take notes of some of the points Bowels makes about the importance of having a diverse library and the effect it can have on children.

Which is a fancy way of saying that it is written as poetry. Even though the novel is written in verse it still tells a narrative or story. So each of the poems can be read separately or together, and when read together, they tell the story of Guero. 

    As we watch this video, make note of some of the examples of what poetry is or is not. ]]>     2022-05-13 15:29:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mariealaena_miscannon/8pykqxdengtxue8z/wish/2183061972     Chingona by Leticia mariealaena_miscannon https://padlet.com/mariealaena_miscannon/8pykqxdengtxue8z/wish/2183061974 Spoken Word poetry is a form of poetry that is also performance. Authors choose to write and perform their works as Spoken Word poetry for many reasons. Spoken Word poetry allows the author control over how the poem is read, the rhythm, and emphasis of words or sections. It is another way for them to express and share their art. 

    There are several Spoken Word poetry competitions for young adults where the prize is often a scholarship. Young adults from all backgrounds compete in state and national competitions sharing their art and getting their voices heard. Spoken Word poetry can be done as an individual or a group.  Spoken Word poetry is highly emotional form of writing and performance. 

    While we watch/listen to this performance, think about what the poem is about and why the author wrote/performed it. ]]>     2022-05-13 15:29:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mariealaena_miscannon/8pykqxdengtxue8z/wish/2183061974     Chingona Transcript mariealaena_miscannon https://padlet.com/mariealaena_miscannon/8pykqxdengtxue8z/wish/2183061975 They tell me I'm not really Mexican.
    As if my latina could be determined by
    How many times I can move my hips.
    Like no I can't dance but the cumbia
    Still moves through my veins l
    Like me my mom moved through the house
    With a bidi bidi echoing down the hall
    And the smell of chilaquiles on Sunday morning.
    They tell me I'm not really Mexican
    As if my grito wasn't authentic enough,
    Having to prove that I can keep a conversation in Spanish
    My identity is stripped with grammatical errors.

    And I guess I'm not really Mexican because
    I refused to wear hoop earrings
    Because I didn't want to look chola
    But what I meant was - Mexican.
    Felt like if I could blend in that that was okay
    As if earrings could point me out
    While trying to hide an accent cause
    I don't want to be made fun of for saying Chipotle'
    But yes can I have the sofritas and veggies please.

    In interviews, when I'm asked if I'm anything but Mexican
    given the "sorry you just don't seem
    Hard-working, Independent, Chingona"
    Told that I wasn't really Mexican
    Because my playlists consist of too many rap songs
    That I shop like I'm not broke
    Because my privileged 🤬 knows no struggle.
    But just because I'm not a GMAC student
    Doesn't mean I'm not a dreamer.

    We internalize racism, while idiots in government
    Want to build a wall that's already built.
    We protest racism while practicing it here
    Like we're training for points.
    Training to sign up
    but we're failing to understand each other.
    Too American for the Mexicans and
    Too Mexican for the whites
    I'm bicultural
    not assimilated
    But Sometimes I wished I was
    When I wished my skin wasn't brown and
    That I didn't have to fight to legitimize my identity.
    Or fight to feel safe.
    I'm tangled
    Trying to understand the skin that makes me indigenous.
    But I'm finding empowerment in Chicana and Chicano


    Whoknows what it means to be really Mexican anyways
    Too spicy, not so exotic,
    strict parents, broken English, but not broken pride.
    Soy Mexicana. Gracias.]]>     2022-05-13 15:29:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mariealaena_miscannon/8pykqxdengtxue8z/wish/2183061975     Question/Sentence Starters mariealaena_miscannon https://padlet.com/mariealaena_miscannon/8pykqxdengtxue8z/wish/2183061976 Reflect on the poems words and the author's performance.
