Today, we interrupted presentations because we had a speaker from the Community Writers Series: Angela Aguirre!
As always: Which of the poems presented by Angela most resonated with you? Write a paragraph/page response.
Please select one of the prompts below. If you were absent, you must answer PROMPT#2
1. Death: You may not know what it is like to lose someone you love, but we can all relate to the fact that one day we will die. Picture yourself on your death bed. How old are you? Who is around? What kinds of things have people brought to try and make you smile? What are your last words of wisdom you want to leave you and your loved ones with?
2. Growth: Truth is I am in a constant state of growth. As you can tell by the poems in this section, I still have a lot of growing up to do. What about you? What areas of your life have you grown or need to grow from? Take time to reflect and brainstorm on your growth. Begin with the sentence, "I may not be where I want to be, but thank God I'm not where I was." Then you will write a full introspective, reflective essay on a topic of your choosing.
3. Create a LIST-Poem, in some ways modeled after Angela Aguirre's poem on page 19 of her book!
