For extra credit, respond to these questions in detailed, vibrant paragraphs: 1) Before the event: In your own words, what is Hispanic Writers Week? What books or poetry have you read by Latin@/Hispanic writers? How was their identity relevant (or not) to their writing? 2) After the event, speak with someone who presented. Identify yourself and why you are there. Record their name, how they are connected to Hispanic Writers Week, and how their [Latin@] identify affects their experience of the world. 3)What did you see/feel/experience at the event? Who attended? Who presented? Were the populations different? 4) What poetry or writing most resonated with you at the event, and why? 5) What questions did audience members ask? What questions are you left with?
