The conversation between child and parent in the previous paragraph may be a relatable situation for students, but it is not one they often see presented to them poetically. The Crossover is rife with everyday activities such as conversation, texting, doing homework and, of course, playing basketball. These scene present in poetry expose the growing resentment and eventual grief of the protagonist through a variety of figurative language techniques that enforces their importance and power to students in a way the traditional, unconnected anthology poetic does not. By doing this, “The Crossover” opens up a new understanding to students who found understanding poetry both boring and unattainable enter their literary
The fresh faces of the 2016-2017 sophomore AP English class looked up at Mrs. Belles, some expectantly, some apprehensively. Among those faces is Francine Lamasko, a girl of 15 years of age, newly refreshed from summer and carrying her completed summer work. Decidedly, she thinks to herself, this will be a meaningful year of learning, of growth, and of fun. She is ready.

The poem that I chose to write about for my assignment is “Lisa’s Ritual, Age 10"
As I started running out the car I noticed I had forgotten my posters I had for my classroom. It was so much going on in my life, that I didn’t believe I could make it this far. "Mrs. Stacy, do you need help carrying your stuff to your classroom?" Said Mr. Jacob who had settled his classroom right across from mine. "Oh your help would be soo useful at this moment Mr. Jacob!" As I gave him the two big boxes of books that were filled with rain and mud from the thundery rain I ran back to my car to get my posters. Mrs. Stacy was just starting her career at Tennessee in Hicks Elementary School. An art teacher who had just graduated and moved away from the big city lights and into an old small town. She was just getting used to Mercy Town, a few miles away from an old cemetery.
If there was any body of work we could have studied in American literature this year, I would choose “Bronx Masquerade” to be a part of the curriculum. The way that story not only is commensurate with the subject of the class, but the authenticity that it possesses can allow students to relate to many of the characters since there was such a diversity in backgrounds. Furthermore, the story can give teachers an idea on how to make a classroom feel like “one.” In the story, many of the characters felt like they were very different compared to their peers. As the story went on, the poetry sharing in the classroom proved that many of the students could relate to each other’s struggles and tribulations. In conclusion, they weren’t as different as they perceived to be.
• I really enjoyed this short story of Jack and his poem. I think this is a good story for younger students to get the inspiration and confidence that they may need to do something that they do not think they can. It shows students examples of poems throughout this story, which is good.

Select two poems that you consider to be your best work from the required writing assignments in lessons 1–6. Each of these poems should be at least eight or nine lines in length and no longer than thirty, which means that if you choose to submit a short poem such as a cinquain or a haiku, you will need to select an additional one in order to meet the minimum length requirement. One of the poems should follow an established format (a sonnet, villanelle, cinquain, or haiku, etc..) and one should be written in free verse. Both (or all) poems should include the following:
Have you ever read poetry that can inspire you in your everyday life? Poetry that discusses the deep truth about our world and the people who wander it? Well, there is some poetry that can give you a better understanding about life,ourselves, and how to handle situations that come across our path. Inspiring you and motivating you to do your best. These types of poetries can really give the reader a deep knowledge about how to challenge the unknowns. Guiding you on how to work on your up and down moments. Poet Erin Hanson writes poetry that explains the cruel reality of life and also poetry that attracts all walks of people and their everyday challenges with life itself.

Heaney a great deal to write about. The poems that I am going to study
Prior to beginning Cornerstone: The Life I Choose, students will need to know what a narrative is and accept that we all have a story (narrative) worth telling. This Cornerstone is strongly suggested to be the opening activity for Unit 1. Before starting the Cornerstone, teachers should establish clear classroom norms and expectations around group discussions, pair and group work, and student presentations. The creation of a personal narrative poem will allow students to learn about each other as well as connect to the essential question of the unit; therefore, it is imperative that the environment established in the classroom is one where students feel supported and respected by the teacher and fellow classmates so they can share their thoughts and ideas. Academically, students should have a basic understanding of writing a constructed response and basic literary elements.
Some of the poems and essays I have read during this class were relatable to me. Being away from college, I have struggled with not being at home. I have become a different person when I am at school, but when I am home, I feel like I am my normal self again. Some of these authors of the poems and essays that I have read throughout this class has struggled with being somewhere where they don’t belong and that they are someone else when they are not home. Unlike the other poems and essays we have read throughout the course. I enjoyed reading the ones about “home” because I actually understood what they are going through and that I can relate. Some of these poems and essays include “Going Home” by Maurice Kenny, Postcard from Kashmir”, by Agha Shahid Ali, “Returning” by Elias Miguel Munoz and “Hometown” by Luis Cabalquinto. All of these poems deal with duality.
