Poetry Experience Paragraph

I really enjoy reading and listening to poetry depending on the feeling being expressed behind it. I understand that poetry is a way of expressing peoples feelings on paper if they are not able to express the words out loud. For example anger,love, friendship, hatred, hurt, intimacy, family etc. I personally have written free verse poetry which does not necessarily have to rhyme in order to express what I have been going though lately or think at the moment. I have learned poetry by listening to peoples poems or read poems by certain writers for example Shakespeare. I wright poetry when I am hurt, I do not do it intentionally if I am hurt and I feel like no one is listening to me a grab a journal and right. At the end when I read it to myself I end up seeing it rhyme. Poetry to me is a way of expression a way to let everything out like pain, secrets, feelings for others etc. I hope to learn many more ways that poetry can be used. I look forward to listening to different poems and mixed emotions and maybe how to be a better poetry righter.

Good Teacher Traits

Symbolism and Allegory Unit Reflection

Over the past few weeks my class as well as I have been learning about symbolism and allegory. I learned about symbolism in many different ways for example our class was assigned a project called Glogster. Were basically my partner and I had to create a poster with 3 pictures and quotes. This assignment was based on our story that we had just finished reading called " Through the Tunnel." Our poster was to show that we understood the story and its perspective as well as to make sure we new what the symbolism of the story was. For example when we added a picture of rocks and water the picture symbolized when the young boy came out the water and a gush of blood came off his goggles. On the other hand I also learned about allegory. I learned about allegory by reading certain story's for example my classmates and I just finished reading "Animal Farm." My classmates and I had to complete a paragraph regarding the story and how it compares to the real world. We had to explain the allegory in the story which was when Snowball was chased away caused by rumors that 2other individuals had made. Here at San Pasquale Academy students can peer pressure student and give them a hard time in order for them to not want to resign here anymore.

Animal Farm to the Real World

In the story Animal Farm Snow Ball puts out the idea to start the revolution and finish what Mr. Old major had started. Yet on the other side Squelar and Napoleon descided to get rid of him. Snow Ball was chased out of the farm by all the animals. Squelar and Napoleon had tricked all the farm animals into thinking that Snow Ball was the enemie. In the really world certain situations are similar to this. For example here at San Pasqual Academy there has been situations were a studetn has issues with another student and one of the students is considered more popular and more known then the other. The student with most friends goes around spreading rumors in order to turn poeple agianst them. The student now is being eathier harrased or pressured and may be unable to handle the pressure and the instigating. Which may lead to change of placement in the end.

“Animal Farm” Revolution at SPA

If San Pasqual Academy were to loose it's control entirly Spa would be a reck. Students would not listen to the staff and fights would be in every corner as well as the place being a total disaster. One day the students decided to meet up in the softball field during lunches. Both lunch sestions had there meeting and officially had a plan.

San Pasqual Academy Dragon

I bealive that the dragon was used as our mascot because a dragon repsresnts a warrior which in our case is the warrior that is among each and every one of us. A dragon is a fighter it can symbolize many things. For example when a student resignes here at San Pasqual Academy they may come with many problems and they may be hurt as if they just came or finished fighting a war outside of here. Students have argument, fights or even witness viloence on there own which makes it a war out in the world. A dragon fights for protection and survival. It defends itself from harm and anything in its way. The dragon represents strength and fighting till tthe end.
