I read two works of poetry. One is titled For Everyone by Jason Reynolds. The other is titled, The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo.
I wrote an essay giving advice to Xiomara, the protagonist of The Poet X. I also wrote and performed a poem about the novel. Finally, I wrote and performed a poem about my route to school.
We read the Legend of Sundiata and wrote an essay about his journey. The prompt was, "How was Sundiata a hero?"
Also based on the Legend of Sundiata, I constructed an app. This was in collaboration with my Digital Technology class.

In class we read The Odyssey, a graphic novel. I made a scene from the book on storyboard.com.
